Final answer:
To calculate f(-2) for the function f(x) = 17(3 + x), we substitute -2 into the function and simplify to get the result, which is 17. The correct answer is option d.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the value of f(-2) when f(x) = 17(3 + x), we simply substitute -2 for x in the function:
f(-2) = 17(3 + (-2))
f(-2) = 17(3 - 2)
f(-2) = 17(1)
f(-2) = 17
Therefore, the value of f(-2) is 17, which corresponds to option d.
