Question

Given h(t)=-2(t+5)2 , find h(-8)

Answer 1

The answer I got was 12 if needed I can take a picture of how I worked it

Answer 2

The value of the function at h(-8) is -18.

Evaluation of quadratic equation.

The evaluation of the quadratic equation involves the substitution of -8 for all values of 't" in the quadratic equation. This method helps us to know how function of quadratic equation performs at specific points.

In the given information, we have:

`h(t) = -2(t + 5)^2`

replace t with (-8), to solve for the function when t = -8

`h(-8) = -2((-8) + 5)^2`

`h(-8) = -2(-3)^2`

h(-8) = -2(9)

h(-8) = -18

Therefore, the value of the function at h(-8) is -18.
