Evaluate 2x^3 + 5x^2 + 4x + 8 when x = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function 2x³ + 5x² + 4x + 8. In order to evaluate the value of the function at x = -2 we will substitute the value of x given into the function as shown;

F(x) = 2x³ + 5x² + 4x + 8

at x = -2

f(-2) = 2(-2)³ + 5(-2)² + 4(-2) + 8

f(-2) = 2(-8) + 5(4) +(-8) + 8

f(-2) = -16+20-8+8

f(-2) = -16+20

f(-2) = 4

The value of the function when x = -2 is 4

the answer is c. 23/3
