In (-x)² you’re taking the value of x in the parentheses and then multiplying by the power of two while in just -x ² the power sign in directly on the number not on the parentheses. You will get the same answer both times for example x=10 (10)² or 10² both equal 100.
X- intercepts:
-3, 0 and 4
answer is the second choice
4y=13-1
4y=12
y=12/4
y=3 That shoud be your answer
I believe it’s 15 square units
