Answer: 24

=====================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Everywhere you see an 'x', replace it with -2. Then use the order of operations PEMDAS to simplify.

Be careful to make sure you square all of -2 and not just 2 itself. You should have (-2)^2 = 4, not -2^2 = -4.

---------

f(x) = x^2 - 5x + 10

f(-2) = (-2)^2 - 5(-2) + 10

f(-2) = 4 - 5(-2) + 10

f(-2) = 4 + 10 + 10

f(-2) = 14 + 10

f(-2) = 24
