which of the following is a point on the graph as described by the function y = (2x + 1)^2 - 4?

1 answer

To find a point on the graph of the function \( y = (2x + 1)^2 - 4 \), we can choose a value for \( x \) and then compute the corresponding \( y \).

Let’s try \( x = 0 \):

\[ y = (2(0) + 1)^2 - 4 \] \[ y = (1)^2 - 4 \] \[ y = 1 - 4 \] \[ y = -3 \]

So, when \( x = 0 \), \( y = -3 \). Therefore, the point \( (0, -3) \) is on the graph of the function.
