Answer 1

To find the point on the graph as described by the function y = (2x+1)^2 - 4, we substitute the given x-coordinate into the equation to determine the corresponding y-coordinate.

1) For x = 0:
y = (2(0)+1)^2 - 4
y = (1)^2 - 4
y = 1 - 4
y = -3

So the point (0, -3) is on the graph.

2) For x = -1:
y = (2(-1)+1)^2 - 4
y = (-2+1)^2 - 4
y = (-1)^2 - 4
y = 1 - 4
y = -3

So the point (-1, -3) is on the graph.

3) For x = 1:
y = (2(1)+1)^2 - 4
y = (2+1)^2 - 4
y = (3)^2 - 4
y = 9 - 4
y = 5

So the point (1, 5) is on the graph.

Therefore, the correct answer is (1, 2).
