The domain of a function is the set of all possible input values, or x-values, for which the function is defined.

From the given options, the correct domain for the function represented by the graph is [-0.7, 3.7]. This is because in the given graph, it appears that the function is defined for all x-values within the interval from -0.7 to 3.7, including the endpoints. The notation [ ] indicates that the endpoints are included in the domain.

The other options:
[-1, infinite sign): The interval starts at -1, but the end of the interval is positive infinity, which does not match the graph.
[-1/4, infinite sign): The interval starts at -1/4, but the end of the interval is positive infinity, which does not match the graph.
(-infinite sign, infinite sign): This notation represents all real numbers. However, based on the graph, the function is not defined for x-values less than -0.7 or greater than 3.7, so this option does not match the graph.

Apologies for the confusion in my previous response. The correct domain for the function represented by the graph is indeed (-∞, ∞), which represents all real numbers. From the given graph, it appears that the function is defined for all possible x-values, from negative infinity to positive infinity.

To find f(-4), we need to substitute -4 for x in the function f(x) = x^2 - 3x:

f(-4) = (-4)^2 - 3(-4)

Calculating the expression inside the parenthesis first:

= 16 + 12

= 28

Therefore, f(-4) = 28.
