Choose the function that represents the data in the table. x 0 1 2 3 4 5 y negative 3 negative 1 5 15 29 47

Substitute each x-value into y = 2x² − 3. For example, when x = 3, y = 2(3²) − 3 = 15, and when x = 5, y = 2(5²) − 3 = 47. The rule also gives −3, −1, 5, and 29 for x = 0, 1, 2, and 4, respectively, matching the table. So the function is “y is equal to 2 x squared minus 3.”
