Answer:

D. 4

Explanation:

Given expression:


-2x^2-4x+10

To find the value of the expression when x = -3, substitute x = -3 into the expression:


\implies -2(-3)^2-(-3)x+10

Apply exponent rule
(-a)^2=a^2:


\implies -2(3^2)-4(-3)+10


\implies -2(9)-4(-3)+10


\implies -18-4(-3)+10

Apply rule
-(-a)=a :


\implies -18+(4)(3)+10


\implies -18+12+10

Add/subtract from left to right:


\implies -6+10


\implies 4
