Question

If f(x) = 8x2-5, what is f(-1)

Answer 1

Explanation:

Remember math is a language

f(x) : A function of x where x can be any number including a number you choose

when you see f(-1), this tells you what the function is at this given x value. So you substitute - 1 wherever you see x

8(-1)2 - 5

Answer 2
