Substitute x with −2: We are given the function f(x)=−4x2+x. To find f(−2), we need to substitute x with −2 in the function.Calculation: f(−2)=−4(−2)2+(−2)
Calculate square of −2: First, calculate the square of −2.Calculation: (−2)2=4
Multiply by −4: Now, multiply the result by \(-4").Calculation: \(-4 \times 4 = −16")
Add to −2: Next, add the product of −4 and the square of −2 to the value of −2.Calculation: −16+(−2)=−18
Find f(−2): We have now found the value of f(−2).Final Answer: f(−2)=−18
