Determine whether the formula describes y as a function of x. explain your reasoning.

y = -3x2 - 7x - 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is a quadratic .

For each value of x  we will get the value of y (output)

The graph of quadratic is a U shaped parabola.

For each x value there will be output y. the value of x is not repeated.

The graph  of quadratic reach minimum at one point and then it goes up.

When we draw vertical line in the graph of U shaped parabola, the line crosses the graph at only one point.

So the y is a function of x

The given formula describes y as a function of x

-14 is the answer

hope this : ))
