Question

Evaluate the function, find f(-2):

f(x) = 2x^2 + 32
A) 2
B) -14
C) 2
D) -10

Answer 1

To find the value of the function f(x) at x = -2, substitute -2 into the equation to get f(-2) = 2(-2)^2 + 32, resulting in f(-2) = 40.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to evaluate the function f(x) = 2x2 + 32 at x = -2. To find f(-2), substitute x with -2 in the function:

f(-2) = 2(-2)2 + 32

f(-2) = 2(4) + 32

f(-2) = 8 + 32

f(-2) = 40

Thus, the correct evaluation of f(-2) is 40, which is not listed in the provided choices.
