Question

A function is given below. f ( x ) = 3 x 2 − 5 x What is the value of f ( − 4 ) ?

Answer 1

26

Explanation:

(3*2) + (-5*-4)

6 + 20 = 26

Answer 2

`f(-4)=68`

Explanation:

We are given the function:

`f(x) = 3x^2 - 5 x`

And we want to find f(-4).

So, we will substitute every x for -4. This yields:

`f(-4)=3(-4)^2-5(-4)`

Evaluate:

`f(-4)=3(16)-(-20)=48+20=68`

So, f(-4) = 68.
