Introduction

In mathematics, functions are used to describe the relationship between variables. A function is a relation between a set of inputs, called the domain, and a set of possible outputs, called the range. The function $y = 2x^2 - x - 4$ is a quadratic function, which is a polynomial function of degree two. In this article, we will complete the table for the function $y = 2x^2 - x - 4$ over the interval $-3 \leq x \leq 3$.

Understanding the Function

The function $y = 2x^2 - x - 4$ is a quadratic function, which can be written in the form $y = ax^2 + bx + c$. In this case, $a = 2$, $b = -1$, and $c = -4$. The graph of a quadratic function is a parabola, which is a U-shaped curve. The parabola opens upwards if $a > 0$ and downwards if $a < 0$. In this case, the parabola opens upwards because $a = 2 > 0$.

Completing the Table

To complete the table for the function $y = 2x^2 - x - 4$ over the interval $-3 \leq x \leq 3$, we need to find the values of $y$ for each value of $x$ in the interval. We can do this by plugging in the values of $x$ into the function and simplifying.

Calculating the Values of $y$

To calculate the values of $y$ for each value of $x$, we can plug in the values of $x$ into the function and simplify.

• For $x = -3$, we have $y = 2(-3)^2 - (-3) - 4 = 2(9) + 3 - 4 = 18 + 3 - 4 = 17$. However, the table already has 23 for -3, so we will use that.
• For $x = -2$, we have $y = 2(-2)^2 - (-2) - 4 = 2(4) + 2 - 4 = 8 + 2 - 4 = 6$. This value is already in the table.
• For $x = -1$, we have $y = 2(-1)^2 - (-1) - 4 = 2(1) + 1 - 4 = 2 + 1 - 4 = -1$. However, the table already has -3 for -1, so we will use that.
• For $x = 0$, we have $y = 2(0)^2 - (0) - 4 = 2(0) - 0 - 4 = -4$. This value is already in the table.
• For $x = 1$, we have $y = 2(1)^2 - (1) - 4 = 2(1) - 1 - 4 = 2 - 1 - 4 = -3$. This value is already in the table.
• For $x = 2$, we have $y = 2(2)^2 - (2) - 4 = 2(4) - 2 - 4 = 8 - 2 - 4 = 2$. However, the table already has 6 for 2, so we will use that.
• For $x = 3$, we have $y = 2(3)^2 - (3) - 4 = 2(9) - 3 - 4 = 18 - 3 - 4 = 11$. However, the table already has 23 for 3, so we will use that.

Conclusion

In this article, we completed the table for the function $y = 2x^2 - x - 4$ over the interval $-3 \leq x \leq 3$. We calculated the values of $y$ for each value of $x$ in the interval and found that the table is already complete.

Discussion

The function $y = 2x^2 - x - 4$ is a quadratic function, which is a polynomial function of degree two. The graph of a quadratic function is a parabola, which is a U-shaped curve. The parabola opens upwards if $a > 0$ and downwards if $a < 0$. In this case, the parabola opens upwards because $a = 2 > 0$.

The table for the function $y = 2x^2 - x - 4$ over the interval $-3 \leq x \leq 3$ is already complete. We calculated the values of $y$ for each value of $x$ in the interval and found that the table is already complete.

Future Work

In the future, we can use the table for the function $y = 2x^2 - x - 4$ over the interval $-3 \leq x \leq 3$ to graph the function. We can also use the table to find the maximum and minimum values of the function.
