Evaluating Functions

Here are the steps to evaluate the given functions at x = -2: a) f(-2) = (-2)2 + 3(-2) + 5 = 4 + (-6) + 5 = 3 b) f(-2) = (-2)3 - 4(-2)2 + 3 = (-8) - 16 + 3 = -21 c) f(-2) = √(-2) = i√2 (since the radicand is negative, the result is an imaginary number) d) f(-2) is undefined (since the function is defined as x3 and x = -2 is not in the domain of the cube root function). e)
