Question #N949
The function $f(x)$ is defined as $f(x) = 3x^2 - 2x + 1$. What is the value of $f(-2)$?
A. -11
B. 11
C. 17
D. 23
Correct Answer is: D
To find $f(-2)$, we substitute -2 for $x$ in the function: $f(-2) = 3(-2)^2 - 2(-2) + 1$. Simplifying, we get $f(-2) = 3(4) + 4 + 1 = 12 + 4 + 1 = 17$.
