Answer:

A. -259

B. inverse function is 1/2 √(-x-3)

Explanation:

Here, we want to find f(8)

Simply substitute x = 8 in the equation.

The equation is

f(x) = -4x^2 -3

So f(8) = -4(8)^2-3

f(8) = -256-3

f(8) = -259

Inverse of f(x) = -4x^2 -3

Simply equate this to m

m = -4x^2-3

-4x^2 = m + 3

x^2 = (m + 3)/-4

x^2 = -m/4 -3/4

x = √(-m-3)/4

x = 1/2√(-m-3)

Put back the value of x for m

x = 1/2 √(-x-3)
