**(a)** The point \((-2,15)\) is on the graph of \( f \). **(b)** When \( x=2 \), \( f(2)=11 \), so the point \((2,11)\) is on the graph. **(c)** When \( f(x)=-3 \), \( x=0 \) or \( x=\frac{1}{4} \), so the points \((0,-3)\) and \(\left(\frac{1}{4},-3\right)\) are on the graph. **(d)** The domain of \( f \) is all real numbers. **(e)** The \( x \)-intercepts are \((1,0)\) and \(\left(-\frac{3}{4},0\right)\). **(f)** The \( y \)-intercept is \((0,-3)\).

Solución

**(a)** To check if the point \((-2,15)\) is on the graph, substitute \( x = -2 \) into \( f(x) \): \[ f(-2)=4(-2)^2-(-2)-3 = 4(4)+2-3=16+2-3=15. \] Since \( f(-2)=15 \), the point \((-2,15)\) is on the graph. **(b)** Substitute \( x=2 \) into \( f(x) \): \[ f(2)=4(2)^2-2-3 =4(4)-2-3=16-2-3=11. \] Thus, when \( x=2 \), \( f(2)=11 \) and the point \((2,11)\) is on the graph. **(c)** To find \( x \) when \( f(x)=-3 \), solve: \[ 4x^2-x-3=-3. \] Add \( 3 \) to both sides: \[ 4x^2-x=0. \] Factor out \( x \): \[ x(4x-1)=0. \] Setting each factor to zero gives: \[ x=0 \quad \text{or} \quad 4x-1=0 \Rightarrow x=\frac{1}{4}. \] The points on the graph are \((0,-3)\) and \(\left(\frac{1}{4},-3\right)\). **(d)** The function \( f(x)=4x^2-x-3 \) is a polynomial. Therefore, its domain is all real numbers: \[ \text{Domain: } (-\infty,\infty). \] **(e)** The \( x \)-intercepts occur when \( f(x)=0 \): \[ 4x^2-x-3=0. \] Using the quadratic formula \[ x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}, \quad \text{with } a=4, \, b=-1, \, c=-3, \] compute the discriminant: \[ \Delta=(-1)^2-4(4)(-3)=1+48=49. \] Thus, \[ x=\frac{-(-1) \pm \sqrt{49}}{2(4)}=\frac{1 \pm 7}{8}. \] The solutions are: \[ x=\frac{1+7}{8}=1 \quad \text{and} \quad x=\frac{1-7}{8}=-\frac{6}{8}=-\frac{3}{4}. \] So, the \( x \)-intercepts are \((1,0)\) and \(\left(-\frac{3}{4},0\right)\). **(f)** The \( y \)-intercept is found by evaluating \( f(0) \): \[ f(0)=4(0)^2-0-3=-3. \] Thus, the \( y \)-intercept is \((0,-3)\).

Beyond the Answer

To determine if the point \( (-2,15) \) is on the graph of \( f \), we need to evaluate \( f(-2) \). Plugging in \( -2 \): \[ f(-2) = 4(-2)^{2} - (-2) - 3 = 4(4) + 2 - 3 = 16 + 2 - 3 = 15 \] So, yes, the point \( (-2,15) \) is indeed on the graph of \( f \)! Now, for part (b), let's find \( f(2) \): \[ f(2) = 4(2)^{2} - (2) - 3 = 4(4) - 2 - 3 = 16 - 2 - 3 = 11 \] Therefore, the point \( (2,11) \) is on the graph of \( f \). Next, for part (c), if \( f(x) = -3 \): Setting the equation \( 4x^{2} - x - 3 = -3 \): \[ 4x^{2} - x - 3 + 3 = 0 \Rightarrow 4x^{2} - x = 0 \] Factoring gives us \( x(4x - 1) = 0 \), so \( x = 0 \) or \( x = \frac{1}{4} \). Thus, the points \( (0, -3) \) and \( \left(\frac{1}{4}, -3\right) \) are on the graph of \( f \). For part (d), the domain of \( f(x) \) is all real numbers since it's a polynomial function, which can take any x-value. In part (e), to find the \( x \)-intercepts, we set \( f(x) = 0 \): \[ 4x^{2} - x - 3 = 0 \] Using the quadratic formula \( x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac}}{2a} \), where \( a = 4 \), \( b = -1 \), and \( c = -3 \): \[ x = \frac{1 \pm \sqrt{(-1)^{2} - 4(4)(-3)}}{2(4)} = \frac{1 \pm \sqrt{1 + 48}}{8} = \frac{1 \pm 7}{8} \] So we get \( x = 1 \) and \( x = -\frac{3}{4} \). The \( x \)-intercepts are \( (1, 0) \) and \( \left(-\frac{3}{4}, 0\right) \). Finally, for part (f), the \( y \)-intercept occurs when \( x = 0 \): \[ f(0) = 4(0)^{2} - 0 - 3 = -3 \] Thus, the \( y \)-intercept is \( (0, -3) \).
