Given function substitution: We are given the function f(x)=−3x2−8 and we need to find the value of f(4). This means we need to substitute x with 4 in the function and simplify.Calculation: f(4)=−3(4)2−8
Calculate square of 4: First, calculate the square of 4.Calculation: (4)2=16
Multiply by −3: Next, multiply the result by −3.Calculation: −3×16=−48
Subtract 8: Finally, subtract 8 from the result obtained in the previous step.Calculation: −48−8=−56
