STEP 1

What is this asking? Which of these points *don't* live on the graph of the function f(x)=1x2xf(x) = \frac{1 - x^2}{x}? Watch out! Make sure to plug in the *x*-value into the function and see if it spits out the *y*-value!
Don't mix them up!

STEP 2

1. Test point (1, 0)
2. Test point (0, 1)
3. Test point (-2, 3/2)
4. Test point (-1, 0)
5. Test point (-3, -10/3)

STEP 3

Alright, let's **plug in** x=1x = 1 into our function! f(1)=1(1)21=111=01=0f(1) = \frac{1 - (1)^2}{1} = \frac{1 - 1}{1} = \frac{0}{1} = 0.
Boom! This matches the *y*-value of **0**, so the point (1,0)(1, 0) *is* on the graph.

STEP 4

Now, let's try x=0x = 0. f(0)=1(0)20=10f(0) = \frac{1 - (0)^2}{0} = \frac{1}{0}.
Uh oh!
We can't divide by **zero**!
This means the function isn't defined at x=0x = 0, so the point (0,1)(0, 1) is *not* on the graph.

STEP 5

Let's **substitute** x=2x = -2. f(2)=1(2)22=142=32=32f(-2) = \frac{1 - (-2)^2}{-2} = \frac{1 - 4}{-2} = \frac{-3}{-2} = \frac{3}{2}.
This matches the *y*-value of 32\frac{\textbf{3}}{\textbf{2}}, so (2,32)(-2, \frac{3}{2}) *is* on the graph!

STEP 6

Time for x=1x = -1! f(1)=1(1)21=111=01=0f(-1) = \frac{1 - (-1)^2}{-1} = \frac{1 - 1}{-1} = \frac{0}{-1} = 0.
This matches the *y*-value of **0**, so (1,0)(-1, 0) *is* on the graph.

STEP 7

Lastly, let's check x=3x = -3. f(3)=1(3)23=193=83=83f(-3) = \frac{1 - (-3)^2}{-3} = \frac{1 - 9}{-3} = \frac{-8}{-3} = \frac{8}{3}.
This *doesn't* match the *y*-value of 103-\frac{\textbf{10}}{\textbf{3}}, so (3,103)(-3, -\frac{10}{3}) is *not* on the graph.

STEP 8

The points that *don't* belong to the graph are (0,1)(0, 1) and (3,103)(-3, -\frac{10}{3}).
