Question 12246: Could you help me solve this problem?
Find and simplify where possible.
f(x)= x squared -5 if x is 2f (-3)

First find f(-3), which means to substitute the value of x=-3 into the given formula:

= 9-5 = 4

Next, find 2f(-3) which just means to take f(-3) and multiply it times 2.
2f(-3) = 2*4 = 8
