The correct option is B f(x)=x2−1
For this kind of problem, first check the options:
First option: f(x)=x−x2
When you put x = -3 in the function f(x)
f(−3)=−3−(−3)2=−3−9=−12≠8 in the chart.
Second option: f(x)=x−1
When you put x = -3 in the function f(x)
f(−3)=−3−1=−4≠8 in the chart.
Third option: f(x)=x2−1
When you put x = -3 in the function f(x)
f(−3)=(−3)2−1=9−1=8=8 in the chart.
Therefore, the equation f(x)=x2−1 describes the chart above.
