Answer

a) (0, 9) is not on the given graph.

b) (9, 0) is on the given graph.

c) (-9, 0) is on the given graph.

Step-by-step explanation

The eqation of the function on the graph is given as

y² = x² - 81

We are then asked to check if some points are on this graph

To do that, we will substitute each ofthe given points into the equation as x and y and the ones that satisfy the equation are the ones that occur on the graph

a) (0, 9)

x = 0

y = 9

y² = x² - 81

9² = 0² - 81

81 = 0 - 81

81 ≠ -81

This point isn't on the graph.

b) (9, 0)

x = 9

y = 0

y² = x² - 81

0² = 9² - 81

0 = 81 - 81

0 = 0

This point is thus on the graph.

c) (-9, 0)

x = -9

y = 0

y² = x² - 81

0² = (-9)² - 81

0 = 81 - 81

0 = 0

This point is thus on the graph.

Hope this Helps!!!
