<PRE><B>Question 63075</B>
-x2 - 5x - 6, where (a) x = -3 and  (b) x = -2

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Answer:


f(x) = -x^2- 5x - 6


when  x = -3, f(x) becomes f(-3)


f(-3) = -(-3)^2- 5(-3) - 6


      = - 9 + 15 -6


      = 0





when x = -2



f(-2) = -(-2)^2- 5(-2) - 6


      = - 4 + 10 - 6


      = 0






Hope you understood.
