Answer

Please see the graph.

Work Step by Step

Red line: $f(x)=x^2$ Blue line: $g(x) = x^2-1$ We pick three values for $x$ to determine the applicable $y$ values for both graphs. $x=-2$ Red line: $f(x)=x^2$ $f(-2)=(-2)^2$ $f(-2)=4$ $x=0$ Red line: $f(x)=x^2$ $f(0)=0^2$ $f(0)=0$ $x=3$ Red line: $f(x)=x^2$ $f(3)=3^2$ $f(3)=9$ $(-2,4)$, $(0,0)$, and $(3,9)$ are on the red graph. $x=-2$ Blue line: $g(x) = x^2-1$ $g(-2) = (-2)^2-1$ $g(-2)=4-1$ $g(-2)=3$ $x=0$ Blue line: $g(x) = x^2-1$ $g(0)= 0^2-1$ $g(0)=0-1$ $g(0)=-1$ $x=3$ Blue line: $g(x) = x^2-1$ $g(3) = 3^2-1$ $g(3)=9-1$ $g(3)=8$ $(-2, 3)$,$(0, -1)$, and $(3,8)$ are on the blue graph.
