c is the y‑intercept — the value of y when x = 0. So if the table includes the row x = 0, c is that y-value.
If the table does not include x = 0, give three (x,y) entries and you can find c by solving
y = ax^2 + bx + c
for a, b, c (use the three equations), or — for equally spaced x with step 1 — find the second finite difference Δ^2y = 2a, then solve for b and then c from c = y − ax^2 − bx using any one point.
If you paste the table I’ll compute c for you.
