Join the centre O to the chord (let it be MN) & let OH be the perpendicular to the chord

OH bisects MN into 2 equal parts (each one is x/2)
OMH is a right triangle with one side =8, the second leg =x/2 & the hypotenuse = 12 (Radius)
Apply Pythagoras:

12² = 8² +(x/2)² ==>144=64 + x²/4 ==> x²=4(144-64) =320

x²=320==> x=√320 =17.88 ≈17.9

We know that it must equal 9, and that we do x•x-x+6 and find the square root

Answer:

- 3

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x) = 2 {x}^{3} - 6x + 1 \\ plugging \: x = - 2 \\ f( - 2) = 2( { - 2})^{3} - 6( - 2)+ 1 \\ = 2 \times ( - 8) + 12 + 1 \\ = - 16 + 13 \\ = - 3 \\ f( - 2) = - 3$
