Answer:

  • f(3) = -39
  • g(-6) = -28

Explanation:

You want f(3) and g(-6) when f(x) = -4x² -3 and g(x) = 5x +2.

Function evaluation

To find the value of the function for a particular value of the variable, put that value in place of the variable and do the arithmetic.

f(3) = -4(3²) -3 = -4(9) -3 = -36 -3

f(3) = -39

g(-6) = 5(-6) +2 = -30 +2

g(-6) = -28

Additional comment

Your calculator can help with the arithmetic.
