Steps to solve:

f(-9) = 3(-9)^2 + 5(-9) - 1

~Solve using PEMDAS

f(-9) = 3(81) - 45 - 1

f(-9) = 243 - 45 - 1

f(-9) = 198 - 1

f(-9) = 197

Best of Luck!

Answer:


\huge\boxed{f(-9) = 184}

Explanation:


f(x) = 3x^2 +5x-14

Put x = -9


f(-9) = 3(-9)^2+5(-9)-14\\f(-9) = 3(81) -45-14\\f(-9) = 243-45-14\\f(-9) = 198-14\\f(-9) = 184
