  A(-8, 6), D(-1, -16), E(17, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Any point with an x-value that matches any of {-8, -1, 5, 15, 17} will prove Mariela's claim incorrect. (A function cannot use an x-value more than once.)

Those points are ...

  (-8, 6), (-1, -16), (17, -3)

none of the above.

for one of the equations to be used in the process, there has to be a term in the equation since squared is .

since there is only a term in the first equation, we cannot derive a from completing the square.
