Given the function:
f(x) = x^5 + (x + 3)^2
Determine the value of f(x),
if x = -1
Solution:
In order to determine the value of the number, we simply need to substitute -1 to each value of x in the function f(x).
f(x) = x^5 + (x + 3)^2
f(-1) = -1^5 + (-1 + 3)^2
f(-1) = -1 + (2)^2
f(-1) = -1 + 4
f(-1) = 3
Final answer:
f(-1) = 3
