Given the function:

f(x) = -2x^2

Determine f(-3)

Solution:

In order to determine f(-3) simply substitute -3 to the value of x in f(x).

f(-3) = -2(-3)^2

f(-3) = -2 (9)

Opposite signs will result to a negative number, whereas as similar signs will result to a positive number.

f(-3) = -18

Final answer:

f(-3) = -18
