same like last one
Nnesha (nnesha):
here x =3

Nnesha (nnesha):
looks good but don't forget that little "4"

Nnesha (nnesha):
yes perfect!! now solve
OpenStudy (anonymous):
f(3) = -2(3)^2 -4
f(3) = -6 ^2 – 4
f (3) = -36 – 4
f (3) = -40
Nnesha (nnesha):
hmm so you don't have to solve right
OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nnesha (nnesha):

Yeah so, do it again, and square it first.
OpenStudy (anonymous):
F(3) = -2(3) ^2 – 4
-2 (9) – 4
18 – 4
14
Nnesha (nnesha):
hmm 9 times -2 = ???
OpenStudy (anonymous):
18
OpenStudy (anonymous):
