Question

given the function defined by $g(x) = -x^2 + 4x + 3$, find $g(-1)$. simplify.
$g(-1) = \square$

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute $x=-1$ into $g(x)$

$g(-1) = -(-1)^2 + 4(-1) + 3$

Step2: Evaluate exponents and multiplication

$g(-1) = -1 - 4 + 3$

Step3: Calculate final result

$g(-1) = -2$

Answer:

$-2$
