On a coordinate plane, a parabola opens up. Solid circles appear on the parabola at (negative 3, 12.5), (negative 2, 5), (negative 1, 0.5), (0, negative 1), (1, 0.5), (2, 5), (3, 12.5).
The graph of f(x) is shown. Estimate f(–3).
f(–3) =

12.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Vetrx is at: (0,-1) because other y values are repeated

y = a(x - 0)² - 1

y = ax² - 1

Using (1,0.5)

0.5 = a(1)² - 1

a = 1.5

f(x) = 1.5x² - 1

f(-3) = 1.5(-3)² - 1

f(-3) = 12.5

okay wait before i answer, is this for your points on a graph?

answer: domain and range mean all possible values of x and y that could be substituted to the inequality. a solution means all possible values that make the inequality statement true. so while the range is still all real numbers, the solution is the shaded area, for which y will always be greater than the line of the function.
