Explanation:
first of all, g(x) has only negative functional result values (y) except for 0.
and a square is always positive.
so, the only possible right answers are the ones that include a minus ("-") sign.
the graph shows us that g(x) goes through the points (1, -3) and (-1, -3).
so, which equation turns an x = 1 into an y = -3 ?
therefore, the right answer must be D.
g(x) = -3x²
it works for both points :
-3 = -3×1² = -3 correct
-3 = -3×(-1)² = -3×1 = -3 correct
