Question

Evaluate the function for the given value: f(x)=2x (to the power of 2) -5x-17, find f(-3)

Answer 1

Answer:

f(-3) = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

You substitute -3 to x.

f(-3) = 2(-3)² - 5(-3) - 17

f(-3) = 16.

As for the coordinates, the coordinates plotted in the graph above are (1,-1) and (2,-2).

Answer 2

Answer:

16

Step-by-step explanation:

2x² - 5x - 17

Put x as -3 and solve.

2(-3)² - 5(-3) - 17

2(9) - (-15) - 17

18 + 15 - 17

= 16
