Question #N258
The function \(f(x)\) is defined by \(f(x) = 2x^2 - 3x + 1\). What is the value of \(f(-2)\)?
A. -17
B. -11
C. 11
D. 17
Correct Answer is: D
To find \(f(-2)\), we substitute -2 for x in the function. This gives us \(f(-2) = 2(-2)^2 - 3(-2) + 1\). Simplifying, we get \(f(-2) = 2(4) + 6 + 1\), or \(f(-2) = 8 + 6 + 1\), which is equal to \(f(-2) = 15\).
