Symbolic math in MATLAB can be used to solve a system of equations. The equation of a line passing through multiple given points can be found by solving a system of equations. Find the equation for a parabola that passes through points (-1.9), (1,5), (2,12). The general equation of a parabola is given by the quadratic equation below. y = ax + bx + c a) Create symbolic variables a, b, c. Create symbolic equations of the parabola passing through the three points specified above. Name these equations eqn.1, eqn 2, eqn 3. b) Solve the system of equations (eqn-1, eqn 2, eqn-3) for the symbolic variables. Label the solutions a b, and c. c) In Figure 2, plot the solution for the parabola that passes through the three points. Hint: Create a symbolic equation for the parabola with symbolic variable x. Plot this equation using the fplot or explot function. Symbolic math in MATLAB can be used to solve a system of equations.
