Substitute Value into Function: Substitute the value −7 into the function f(x). We have f(x)=−3x2−10x−1, so we need to replace x with −7. f(−7)=−3(−7)2−10(−7)−1
Calculate Square of −7: Calculate the square of −7.(−7)2=49Now, substitute this value back into the equation.f(−7)=−3(49)−10(−7)−1
Multiply −3 by 49: Multiply −3 by 49.−3×49=−147Now, substitute this value back into the equation.f−7 = −147−10(−7)−1
Multiply −10 by −7: Multiply −10 by −7.−10×−7=70Now, substitute this value back into the equation.f−7 = −147+70−1
Add and Subtract to Find f(−7): Add −147 and 70, then subtract 1.−147+70=−77−77−1=−78So, f(−7)=−78
