Find a power function that models the data in the table. Round to three decimal places if necessary.
-The table shows the number of new cases of a certain disease among women in six consecutive years. Data are in thousands rounded to the nearest hundred. $\begin{array} { l c } \underline { \text { Year } } & \text { New Cases (thousands) } \ 2005 & 3.0 \ 2006 & 3.4 \ 2007 & 4.6 \ 2008 & 5.4 \ 2009 & 6.0 \ 2010 & 16.1 \end{array}$
Let $x = 1$ correspond to 2005 and let $y$ be the number of new cases (in thousands) among women in year x. Find a quadratic function to model the data. Round to three decimal places if necessary.
A) $y = 6.69 x ^ { 2 } - 3.645 x + 0.823$
B) $y = 0.823 x ^ { 2 } - 3.645 x + 6.69$
C) $y = 0.945 x ^ { 2 } - 5.212 x + 8.921$
D) $y = 0.623 x ^ { 2 } - 5.645 x + 8.69$
