Given:
The values of input and outputs are given
Output is increasing by 9 for the increase in x values.

Answer:
2^36 3^48 is the correct answer
2x2x2x2x2 is 2^5 in standard notation
To find the y-intercept, simply set the value of x equal to 0, and solve for y, or f(x).
f(x) = 0^2 - 3(0) - 40
f(x) = -40
<h3>The y-intercept is -40.</h3>
Because this is a 2nd degree polynomial, we cannot find the x-intercepts in one step, and must instead use one of a few different methods.
In this case, we're going to use the quadratic formula:

Plug in the values.
3 +/- √(-3^2 + 160) / 2
3 +/- √169 / 2
3 +/- 13 / 2
(3 + 13) / 2 = 16 / 2 = 8
(3 - 13) = -10 / 2 = -5
<h3>The x intercepts are 8, and -5.</h3>
