Answer: -3, -1, 2

So we have -3 go in the first box, -1 in the second, 2 in the third.

The order doesn't matter (so you can rearrange these values however you want).

===========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that a function cannot have any x input lead to multiple y outputs.

For example, if we had x = 0 lead to y = 3 and y = -1 at the same time, then we don't have a function.

In other words, we cannot have repeated x values. So all we have to do is cross off -2, 0, 1, and 3 from the list since they're already in the x row of the table. See the diagram below. This is to ensure that we don't repeat any x values.

The remaining three values -3, -1 and 2 can be placed in any order you want into the three empty boxes.

So we could have -3 go in the first box, -1 go in the second box, and 2 go in the last box. Or you could have -1 in the first box, -3 in the second, and 2 in the third. The order doesn't matter.
