Nice try, but no cigar.

My mistake...I had all three equations together, and grabbed your original as the "bottom". The top I got (as you corrected my missing decimal) is 0.0351x^2 + 1
The bottom I got was 0.0474x^2 -1
I calculated two normal lines and found points that were 1 unit away from points on your given original. Then calculated the quadratics from the two sets of three points (although the y intercepts being known, one really only needs two points).
