Question

Point C is on the graph of the function y = x2 – 3. Its x-coordinate is 4. Which ordered pair gives the location of point C? A.(4, 42 – 3) B.(4, 2 + 3) C.(42, 42 – 3) D.(4, 42)

Answer 1

B (4, 2+3)

Explanation:

To do this you fill in x with 4 so the equation becomes y = (4)2 - 3

You then solve to y = 8 - 3

then 8 - 3 is 5.

Making the coordinates (4, 5) and in this case with the answers (4, 2+3)

Answer 2

A. (4, 4^2 – 3)
