Chapter 9.8, Problem 10PPS

To determine

To calculate: To graph the function

Answer to Problem 10PPS

Graph is plotted

Explanation of Solution

Given information: Function is $y=-3x^2$

Calculation:

Function is given as

  $y=-3x^2$

When $x=0$

  $y=-3{\left(0\right)}^2=0$

When $x=1$

  $y=-3{\left(1\right)}^2=-3$

When $x=-1$

  $y=-3{\left(-1\right)}^2=-3$

When $x=2$

  $y=-3{\left(-2\right)}^2=-12$

When $x=-2$

  $y=-3{\left(-2\right)}^2=-12$

When $x=3$

  $y=-3{\left(3\right)}^2=-27$

When $x=-3$

  $y=-3{\left(-3\right)}^2=-27$

Function table is

x	y
-3	-27
-2	-12
1	-3
0	0
1	-3
2	-12
3	-27

Plotting the points on graph:

  

Conclusion:

Hence, graph is plotted
