Answer:
![9c^3 - 12c^2 - 18c - 24= [3c^2 - 6][3c - 4]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=9c%5E3%20-%2012c%5E2%20-%2018c%20-%2024%3D%20%5B3c%5E2%20-%206%5D%5B3c%20-%204%5D)
Step-by-step explanation:
Given

Required
Factor
Group into 2
![[9c^3 - 12c^2] - [18c + 24]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B9c%5E3%20-%2012c%5E2%5D%20-%20%5B18c%20%2B%2024%5D)
Factorize each group
![3c^2[3c - 4] - 6[3c - 4]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=3c%5E2%5B3c%20-%204%5D%20-%206%5B3c%20-%204%5D)
Factor out 3c - 4
![[3c^2 - 6][3c - 4]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B3c%5E2%20-%206%5D%5B3c%20-%204%5D)
Hence:
![9c^3 - 12c^2 - 18c - 24= [3c^2 - 6][3c - 4]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=9c%5E3%20-%2012c%5E2%20-%2018c%20-%2024%3D%20%5B3c%5E2%20-%206%5D%5B3c%20-%204%5D)

Answers:
f(-3) = -1
f(-1) = 2
f(3) = 5
======================================
Explanations:
Draw a vertical line through -3 on the x axis. Make sure this vertical line crosses the orange graph. Mark this point of intersection and then draw a horizontal line from this point to the y axis. You should find that it touches -1 on the y axis. Check out the attached image to see this process in action.
Those steps basically say that x = -3 leads to y = -1. Since y = f(x), this means f(-3) = -1
Through similar steps, you should find that f(-1) = 2 and f(3) = 5
Note that the open hole/circle does not count. So if you land on an open hole, just keep going until you hit a closed circle on the other piece of the graph.
