Final answer:

To determine f(-8) for f(x)=x^2+2x+1, substitute x with -8 and calculate to find that f(-8) equals 49.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of f(−8) for the function f(x)=x^2 +2x+1,

substitute x with − 8 −8 and compute the expression.

The result is f(−8)=49.

To find f(-8) for the function f(x)=x^2+2x+1, you need to substitute x with -8 and simplify:
f(-8) = (-8)^2 + 2(-8) + 1

= 64 - 16 + 1

= 49


Therefore, f(-8) = 49.
