Answer:

G = -20195

Explanation:

G = 2x^3 + 35x^2 + 15x + 1 where x = -17

Substitute all the x’s for -17!

G = 2(-17)^3 + 35(-17)^2 + 15(-17) + 1

Solve for the exponents first!

G = 2(-4913) + 35(-289) + 15(-17) + 1

Multiply

G = -9826 + -10115 + -255 + 1

Add -9826 + -10115

G = -19941 + -255 + 1

Add -19941 + -255

G = -20196 + 1

Add -20196 + 1

G = -20195
