If a function is defined as f(x) = 3x² - 2x + 1, what is the value of f(-2)?
✓ Correct Answer: Option C
Substitute x = -2 into the function: f(-2) = 3(-2)² - 2(-2) + 1. This simplifies to 3(4) - (-4) + 1, which is 12 + 4 + 1 = 17.
Substitute x = -2 into the function: f(-2) = 3(-2)² - 2(-2) + 1. This simplifies to 3(4) - (-4) + 1, which is 12 + 4 + 1 = 17.
