Problem

In order to draw a graph of $ax^2+bx+c$, a table of values was constructed. These values of the function for a set of equally spaced increasing values of $x$ were $3844, 3969, 4096, 4227, 4356, 4489, 4624$, and $4761$. The one which is incorrect is:

$\text{(A) } 4096 \qquad \text{(B) } 4356 \qquad \text{(C) } 4489 \qquad \text{(D) } 4761 \qquad \text{(E) } \text{none of these}$


Solution

$\fbox{E}$
