The best thing to do here is to graph y=x^2-3

If you don't have a graphing calculator you can do this by plugging in values for x and solving for y

Let's start with x=0

plug in 0 for x

y=0^2-3

y=-3

So our first point on our graph would be x=0, y=-3 or (0,-3)

then we can do the same thing for x=1

plug in 1 for x

y=1^2-3

y=-2

So our next point is x=1, y=-2 or (1,-2)

then the same for x=-1

plug in -1 for x

y=-1^2-3

y=-2

So our next point is x=-1, y=-2 or (-1,-2)

If you put those points on your graph and connect them you will see that this makes a parabola which has a vertex that is located on the y axis at (0,-3) and opens up.

 

Now since this is y<x^2-3 we need to shade anything below the parabola.  The final graph will look something like this:
 

graph of the inequality y<x^2-3
