Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer:
4
Discussion:
f(x) = abs (x^3 - 3) =>
f(-1) = abs ( (-1)^3 -3 ) => (-1)^3 = -1
f(-1) = abs( -1 -3 ) => -1 =3 = -4
f(-1) = abs(-4) =>
f(-1) = 4
Thank you,

Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have a vertical directrix, the equation of the parabola is

Where p is the distance from the vertex to the directrix.
or the distance from the vertex to the focus.
Since we have a sideways parabola, let use the point for the directrix is (-6,0). So let find the midpoint of (-6,0) and (6,0). That would be our vertex.


So our vertex is (0,0).
So our equation become

The distance from the focus and directrix is 6.
So p=6.

So p is 6.
Since p is 6,
