Step 1 :\(\text{1. The relation in option (a) is not a function because it has multiple outputs for the same input.}\)
Step 2 :\(\text{2. A function is quadratic if the second differences are constant, so the answer is (b).}\)
Step 3 :\(\text{3. The parabola opens up, the vertex is at (5,-8), the axis of symmetry is at x=5, and the y-intercept is at y=-32. So, the answer is (c).}\)
Step 4 :\(\text{4. The equation in factored form is in option (a): } f(x)=-x(x+3)\)
Step 5 :\(\text{5. The equation } y=-4x^2-8x-4 \text{ has a discriminant } D=(-8)^2-4(-4)(-4)=64-64=0, \text{ so it has 1 real root. The answer is (a).}\)
Step 6 :\(\text{6. To find the roots of } 3x^2-9x-11=0, \text{ use the quadratic formula: } x=\frac{-(-9)\pm\sqrt{(-9)^2-4(3)(-11)}}{2(3)}\)
Step 7 :\(x=\frac{9\pm\sqrt{81+132}}{6}\)
Step 8 :\(x=\frac{9\pm\sqrt{213}}{6}\)
Step 9 :\(x \approx -3.9, 0.9\)
Step 10 :\(\boxed{\text{The roots are approximately } (-3.9, 0.9)}\)
