Math Problem Statement

Copy and complete the table of values for y = x^2 + 4x - 3. What numbers replace A, B, and C?

Solution

The function given is:

y=x2+4x3y = x^2 + 4x - 3

We need to compute the values of yy corresponding to the given xx values for the table.

Step 1: Compute AA when x=3x = -3

Substitute x=3x = -3 into the equation:

y=(3)2+4(3)3=9123=6y = (-3)^2 + 4(-3) - 3 = 9 - 12 - 3 = -6

So, A=6A = -6.

Step 2: Compute BB when x=0x = 0

Substitute x=0x = 0 into the equation:

y=(0)2+4(0)3=3y = (0)^2 + 4(0) - 3 = -3

So, B=3B = -3.

Step 3: Compute CC when x=1x = 1

Substitute x=1x = 1 into the equation:

y=(1)2+4(1)3=1+43=2y = (1)^2 + 4(1) - 3 = 1 + 4 - 3 = 2

So, C=2C = 2.

Final Table:

x & -3 & -2 & -1 & 0 & 1 \\ \hline y & -6 & -7 & -6 & -3 & 2 \\ \end{array}$$ Let me know if you'd like further clarification or more details! Here are some related questions: 1. How do we calculate $$y$$ for other values of $$x$$? 2. What does the graph of $$y = x^2 + 4x - 3$$ look like? 3. Can we factor the quadratic expression $$x^2 + 4x - 3$$? 4. How can we determine the vertex of the parabola for this equation? 5. What is the significance of the discriminant for this quadratic equation? **Tip:** Always substitute values carefully and double-check arithmetic steps when working with quadratic equations.
