Answer:

f(-3) = 9

Explanation:

Here we have a quadratic function in x: and we want to know the value of this function when x = -3.

Substituting -3 for x in f(x) = -2x^2 - 7x + 6, we get f(-3) = -2(-3)^2 - 7(-3) + 6, which works out to f(-3) = -2(9) + 21 + 6, or

f(-3) = -18 + 27 = 9

Thus, f(-3) = 9

Answer:

9

Explanation:

Simply plug -3 in for x.

-2(-3)^2-7(-3)+6

(-3)^2=9

9*-2= -18

-7*-3=21

-18+21=3

3+6=9
