Let's evaluate an x-value that is to the left of x=-3. Let's evaluate


Start with the given function.


Plug in . In other words, replace each x with -5.


Evaluate to get 25.


Multiply 6 and -5 to get -30


Now combine like terms


-----------Now let's evaluate another value---------


Let's evaluate an x-value that is to the left of x=-3. Let's evaluate


Start with the given function.


Plug in . In other words, replace each x with -4.


Evaluate to get 16.


Multiply 6 and -4 to get -24


Now combine like terms






-----------Now let's evaluate another value---------


Let's evaluate an x-value that is to the right of x=-3. Let's evaluate


Start with the given function.


Plug in . In other words, replace each x with -2.


Evaluate to get 4.


Multiply 6 and -2 to get -12


Now combine like terms


-----------Now let's evaluate another value---------


Let's evaluate an x-value that is to the right of x=-3. Let's evaluate


Start with the given function.


Plug in . In other words, replace each x with -1.


Evaluate to get 1.


Multiply 6 and -1 to get -6


Now combine like terms

Now lets make a table of the values we have calculated 




 xy


 -5-7
 

 -4-10
 

 -3-11
 

 -2-10
 

 -1-7
