Explanation:

5.

just look at the table. what logic do you see in the change of the numbers ?

x changes by +1 from one point to the next.

y changes by +6 from one point to the next.

and we have the point with x=0 in the table, where y = 12. this is the y-intercept (where the line function crosses the y-axis, which means the point where x=0).

the changes line function is

y = ax + b

a is the slope. this is the ratio of y change / x change when going from one point to another.

in our case here this is 6/1 = 6.

b is the y-intercept. in our case 12.

so, the first equation is

y = 6x + 12

now, look at the second table.

x changes again by +1 from one point to the next.

y changes now by -3 from one point to the next.

so, our slope (a) here is -3/1 = -3.

we don't have the x=0 point in the table, so we get b by using the coordinates of one of the points (e.g. 2, 12) in the half finished equation and solve for b :

12 = -3×2 + b = -6 + b

18 = b

so, the full second equation is

y = -3x + 18

6.

this is totally simple. we put -3 in place of all x we find in the function definition and calculate the result :

f(-3) = (-3)³ + 27 = -27 + 27 = 0

remember that the exponent says how often the base number (here -3) is multiplied by itself. so, (-3)³ = -3×-3×-3.

-3×-3 = +9.

but then 9×-3 = -27.

7.

the domain of a function is the interval or set of valid values of x (the input variable).

remember, an empty dot means excluding, a filled dot means including.

I see the graph is drawn to go from x = -4 to x = +4.

-4 is included, +4 is excluded.

so, the domain is then the interval of the real numbers

[‐4, +4)

or

-4 <= x < +4

please consider that a round bracket means excluding.
