∴ 𝑦 = −4(−5) + 3 ∴ 𝑦 = −4(0) + 3 ∴ 𝑦 = −4 (4) + 3

∴ 𝑦 = 23 ∴𝑦=3 ∴𝑦=0

∴ 𝑦 = −4(1) + 3 ∴ 𝑦 = −4(6) + 3 ∴ 𝑦 = −4(20) + 3

∴ 𝑦 = −1 ∴ 𝑦 = −21 ∴ 𝑦 = −77

∴ 𝑦 = 5(−4)2 − 10 ∴ 𝑦 = 5(−1)2 − 10 ∴ 𝑦 = 5(√2) − 10

∴ 𝑦 = 70 ∴ 𝑦 = −5 ∴𝑦= 0

∴ 𝑦 = 5(3)2 − 10 ∴ 𝑦 = 5(5)2 − 10

∴ 𝑦 = 35 ∴ 𝑦 = 115

c) 𝑦 = 2𝑥 2 + 7𝑥 − 8 for 𝑥 = −6; 𝑥 = −2; 𝑥 = 0; 𝑥 = 2 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑥 = 7

∴ 𝑦 = 2(−6)2 + 7(−6) − 8 ∴ 𝑦 = 2(−2)2 + 7(−2) − 8

∴ 𝑦 = 22 ∴ 𝑦 = −14

∴ 𝑦 = 2(0)2 + 7(0) − 8 ∴ 𝑦 = 2(2)2 + 7(2) − 8

∴ 𝑦 = −8 ∴ 𝑦 = 14

∴ 𝑦 = 2(7)2 + 7(7) − 8
