What is the question supposed to be?
F(y) = y + y^2 - 3
f(-2) = -2 + (-2^2) - 3
f(-2) = -2 + 4 - 3
f(-2) = -1
f(-4) = -4 + (-4^2) - 3
f(-4) = -4 + 16 - 3
f(-4) = 9
f(0) = 0 + 0^2 - 3
f(0) = -3
f(2) = 2 + 2^2 - 3
f(2) = 2 + 4 - 3
f(2) = 3
f(4) = 4 + 4^2 - 3
f(4) = 4 + 16 - 3
f(4) = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
x² - 2x - 48
= (x - 8)(x + 6)
Coefficient of x² is positive, => Happy shape curved upwards
Hence x < -6 or x > 8.
