Question

F(x) = 4x^2 + 7x – 18
Find f(-9)

Answer 1

Given :

• f(x) = 4x² + 7x - 18

To Find :

• f(- 9) = ?

Solution :

As, we have f(x) = 4x² + 7x - 18, so to find f(- 9) substitute value of x as (-9).

`\tt : \implies f(-9) = 4(-9)² + 7(-9) - 18`

`\tt : \implies f(-9) = 4 * 81 + (-63) - 18`

`\tt : \implies f(-9) = 324 - 63 - 18`

`\tt : \implies f(-9) = 324 - 81`

`\tt : \implies f(-9) = 243`

`\Large \underline{\boxed{\bf{f(-9) = 243}}}`

Hence, value of f(- 9) = 243.

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

f(x) = 4x² + 7x - 18

f(-9) is x = -9

Step 2: Evaluate

1. Substitute in x: f(-9) = 4(-9)² + 7(-9) - 18
2. Evaluate exponents: f(-9) = 4(81) + 7(-9) - 18
3. Multiply: f(-9) = 324 - 63 - 18
4. Subtract: f(-9) = 261 - 18
5. Subtract: f(-9) = 243
