Question

Evaluate −x^2+4x+1 when x=−2.

Answer 1

-(-2)²+4(-2)+1

-(4)-8+1

-4-7

-11

Answer 2

Hey there!

In order to evaluate this expression, we need to plug in the value of x (-2)

So we have

-x²+4x+1

plug in -2

-(-2)²+4(-2)+1

-4-8+1

-12+1

-11

Hence, the answer's

`\boxed{\boxed{\bold{-11}}}`

Hope everything is clear.
