Step-by-step explanation:
m^2 + 5m - 4
Let m = -6
( -6) ^2 + 5(-6) -4
Exponents first
36 + 5(-6) -4
Then multiply
36 -30 -4
Then subtract
6 -4

3.330
Step-by-step explanation:

Let the linear approximation be L(x) at a = 0. This is given by

 is the derivative of
 is the derivative of  . To find this, we use the form
. To find this, we use the form
If  , then
, then 
By doing this and applying chain rule for the power (which is a function of x), we have

Then

Also 
Hence 
For  ,
,  and
 and 
Using this in  ,
,

For  ,
,  and
 and 
Using this in  ,
,

 
        
             
        
        
        
This point falls on none of your possible answers. 
We can first tell that it falls neither positive or negative in terms of x since the x value is 0. 
We can also tell the y term is negative. Therefore, it would fall on the negative y-axis.
