If $f(x) = 2x^3 - 13x^2 + 17x + 12$, find$f(-3)$


Given:

$f(x) = 2x^3 - 13x^2 + 17x + 12$

To do: 

We have to find $f(-3)$.

Solution:

To find $f(-3)$ we have to substitute $x=-3$ in $f(x)$.

Therefore,

$f(-3) = 2(-3)^3 - 13(-3)^2 + 17(-3) + 12$

$= 2 (-27)-13 (9)+(-51)+12$

$= -54-117 -51 + 12$

$= 12 - 222$

$= -210$

Hence, $f(-3) = -210$.
