Question #N725
The function *f* is defined by *f*(x) = 5*x*<sup>2</sup> - 3*x* + 2. What is the value of *f*(-2)?
A. -26
B. -16
C. 16
D. 26
Correct Answer is: D
Substituting -2 for *x* in the function, we get *f*(-2) = 5(-2)<sup>2</sup> - 3(-2) + 2. Simplifying, we have *f*(-2) = 5(4) + 6 + 2 = 20 + 6 + 2 = 26.
