Afunction f (x)=-8x^2. what is f (-3)?

F(x)= -8x²

f(-3)= -8* (-3)²

f(-3)= -8 * 9

f(-3)= -72

f(x) = -8x²

To find the value of f(-3), put -3 in place of 'x' in the definition of the function.

f(-3) = -8(-3)²

f(-3) = -8(9) = -72

First step is to get rid of the square root. remember that a square root is the same as raising to the (1/2) power. see below: multiply exponents per exponent rules to get: remember you subtract exponents from the denominator and add exponents in the numerator so: simplify further: so a is the correct choice. if you don't understand this google exponent rules and it will you understand. look at the image results.

The answer is 1532.75
