Manipulating the behavior of an exponential function (Math gurus needed!)

For the curious, here is the equation I am now using: y=((1/897.8 )*(x-1080)^2)+1500

if x and y are of the type integer you can speed up this formula by removing the FP math

long t = x-1080;
t = t * t * 10;
y = t / 8978 + 1500;
