Not sure what BiQuad is, but if you want to fit a parabola through those three points, you have, assuming that

v(t) = at^2 + bt + c,

0a+0b+c = 10000
9a+3b+c = 2025
36a+6b+c = 6400

Somehow I suspect what you really wanted was v(3) = 1000-2025 = 7975, since most stocks don't bounce like that.

At any rate, solve for a,b,c for your model:
clearly, c=10000
Now just find a and b.
