Question

multiple-choice question which of the following is the y - value (or f(x) value) when x = - 3? y = - 2 y = 1 y = 0 y = - 3

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the function

From the left panel, the function is $f(x) = x^2 + 4x + 1$.

Step2: Substitute $x=-3$

$$f(-3) = (-3)^2 + 4(-3) + 1$$

Step3: Calculate each term

$(-3)^2 = 9$, $4(-3) = -12$
$$f(-3) = 9 - 12 + 1$$

Step4: Compute the final value

$$f(-3) = -2$$

Answer:

y = -2
