This program was designed to give coefficient values for a
quadratic equation of the form f(x)=ax^2+bx+c. All you need
is three numbers from a table of values. When x=1,2,&3.
That's all!

EXAMPLE:    X | 1 | 2 | 3
            --|---|---|---
            Y | 1 | 7 | 19
This data can be represented by a polynomial equation of the
second degree. In other words a quadratic equation. To find
the coefficients here's what you need to do:
     1>When prompted for the "Y-VALUES" you need to enter
       "1,7,19" (no quotes of course).
     2)Press ENTER.
The program will print out the coefficients in the order a,
b, then c in three columns. For the above example, it will
print:
3    -3        1

It will then generate a table based on the equation you have
found. Enter the domain of the table of values that you want
it to print. For instance if you want to print the values
from -5 to 5, you would enter "-5,5" (no quotes). The program
then ends.

Depending on where you get this program, you may also get the
file cubic.exe. This does basically the same thing, except it
takes four values, and produces four values for a cubic
equation of the form ax^3+bx^2+cx+d. It works in much the
same way.
