Answer:

136

Explanation:

f(x) = x³ - 2x² - x

f(-4) = (-4)³ - 2(-4)² - (-4)

= 164 - 32 + 4

= 136

Answer: Well to find f(-4) for the function f(x) = x³ - 2x² - x, we substitute -4 for x in the equation and evaluate it.

Replacing x with -4, we get:

f(-4) = (-4)³ - 2(-4)² - (-4)

Simplifying the expression:

f(-4) = -64 - 2(16) + 4

Calculating further:

f(-4) = -64 - 32 + 4

f(-4) = -96 + 4

f(-4) = -92

Therefore, f(-4) equals -92.
