Answer:
f(–4) = 6
f(0) = -8
f(1) = -4
Explanation:
The solid points on the curve are in the form (x,y). The x is the input and the y is the output. The question part of your problem here is in the form
f(x) = ?
The number in the parenthesis is the x and they are asking for the y that goes with it. So, to answer these questions find the y that goes with the x.
"Solid circles appear on the parabola at (negative 4, 6),... (0, negative 8), (1, negative 4)..."
f(–4) = 6
f(0) = -8
f(1) = -4
