Question

some points on the curve \\(y = -x^2 + 5\\) have been plotted.

which of the points a-f shows where the point at \\(x = 3\\) should be plotted?

Explanation:

Evaluate the quadratic equation at \(x = 3\)

$$ y = -x^2 + 5 $$
$$ y = -(3)^2 + 5 = -9 + 5 = -4 $$

Identify the corresponding point on the graph

The coordinates of the point are \((3, -4)\).

Match the coordinates with the plotted points

Looking at the vertical line \(x = 3\):

  • Point A is at \((3, 14)\)
  • Point B is at \((3, 4)\)
  • Point C is at \((3, 1)\)
  • Point D is at \((3, 0)\)
  • Point E is at \((3, -4)\)
  • Point F is at \((3, -14)\)

Therefore, point E represents the correct location.

Answer:

  • (A) A
  • (B) B
  • (C) C
  • (D) D
  • (E) E (Correct answer)
  • (F) F
