Question

6 if $g(x) = -2x^2 + 16$ then $g(-3)$ equals

1. $-20$ 2) $-2$ 3) $34$ 4) $52$

Explanation:

Step1: Substitute $x=-3$ into $g(x)$

$g(-3) = -2(-3)^2 + 16$

Step2: Calculate the squared term

$(-3)^2 = 9$, so $g(-3) = -2(9) + 16$

Step3: Compute multiplication then addition

$-2(9) = -18$, so $g(-3) = -18 + 16$

Answer:

1. -2
