Hey, sorry to be "mr bad news" here, but I think both your D and R are false... i think you are missing a minus sign in D (no big deal, you probably just went too fast). But more problematically, I believe your R is wrong. You must not remove "-3". This is visible on your own drawing, but also on the discussion Mr. W and I had previously (check f(-1/2) and you'll see).
