Question #N425
The function \(f(x)\) is defined as \(f(x) = 3x^2 + 2\). What is the value of \(f(-2)\)?
A. -10
B. -2
C. 10
D. 14
Correct Answer is: D
To find \(f(-2)\), we substitute -2 for x in the function: \(f(-2) = 3(-2)^2 + 2\). Simplifying, we get \(f(-2) = 3(4) + 2\), which equals 12 + 2, or 14.
