Answer

$(4,32)$

Work Step by Step

A point is on the graph of $y=3x^2-8\sqrt{x}$ if its $x$ and $y$ coordinates satisfy the equation. To know this, substitute the $x$ and $y$ coordinates of each point into the equation to obtain: For $(-1,-5)$: $y=3x^2 - 8\sqrt x$ $-5\ne3(-1)^2 -8\sqrt -1$ For $(4,32)$: $y=3x^2 - 8\sqrt x$ $32=3(4)^2 - 8\sqrt 4$ $32=48-16$ $32=32 : \checkmark$ For $(9,171)$: $y=3x^2 - 8\sqrt x$ $171=3(9)^2 - 8\sqrt 9$ $171=243-24$ $171\ne219 $ Thus, the only point that is on the graph of $y=3x^2-8\sqrt{x}$ is $(4, 32)$.
