The table shows the values of the quadratic function f for several values of x. Which one of the following best represents f ?
| (A) | f(x) = −2x2 |
| (B) | ... |
| (C) | ... |
| (D) | ... |
| (E) | ... |
| (F) | ... |
The solution is

Couldn't choice B be correct also? If you use f(0)=3 and you use it in the equation f(x)=x^2+3 then 0^2+3 = 3

Kim, it is true that the function works for the value 0. However, it has to work for every x. If you plug in x=-1, for example, you get (-1)^2 + 3 = 4, not 1 as the f(x) value in the table. Hence, B cannot be correct.

The best way to solve this problem is to simply PLUG IN NUMBERS.
