Given:

f(x) = 8x + 11

g(x) = 4x² + 7x - 2

We are asked to evaluate using the following:

(a) f(8)

f(8) = 8(8) + 11

f(8) = 64 + 11

f(8) = 75

(b) f(-8)

f(-8) = 8(-8) + 11

f(-8) = -64 + 11

f(-8) = -53

(c) g(6)

g(6) = 4(6)² + 7(6) - 2

g(6) = 4(36) + 42 - 2

g(6) = 144 + 42 - 2

g(6) = 184

(d) g(-7)

g(-7) = 4(-7)² + 7(-7) - 2

g(-7) = 4(49) - 49 - 2

g(-7) = 196 - 49 - 2

g(-7) = 145

(e) g(a)

g(a) = 4(a)² + 7(a) - 2

g(a) = 4a² + 7a - 2
