Solution Steps

Step 1: Identify the function type

The function given is \( f(x) = x^2 + 5 \). This is a quadratic function.

Step 2: Fill out the table of values

Calculate the values of \( f(x) \) for \( x = -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3 \):

  • \( f(-2) = (-2)^2 + 5 = 4 + 5 = 9 \)
  • \( f(-1) = (-1)^2 + 5 = 1 + 5 = 6 \)
  • \( f(0) = 0^2 + 5 = 0 + 5 = 5 \)
  • \( f(1) = 1^2 + 5 = 1 + 5 = 6 \)
  • \( f(2) = 2^2 + 5 = 4 + 5 = 9 \)
  • \( f(3) = 3^2 + 5 = 9 + 5 = 14 \)
Step 3: Answer the first three questions

Using the table of values:

  1. \( f(-2) = 9 \)
  2. \( f(0) = 5 \)
  3. \( f(3) = 14 \)

Final Answer

  1. \( f(-2) = 9 \)
  2. \( f(0) = 5 \)
  3. \( f(3) = 14 \)
