$$ 1 \leftarrow \quad $$ If $$ f(x)=-4 x-3, g(x)=-5 x^{2}+5 x-2 $$, and $$ h(x)=6 x^{2}-8 $$, find $$ h(-1) $$

Question

UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

To find $$ h(-1) $$ for the function $$ h(x) = 6x^2 - 8 $$, follow these steps:

1. **Substitute $$ x = -1 $$ into the function:**

$$
   h(-1) = 6(-1)^2 - 8
   $$

2. **Calculate the exponent:**

$$
   (-1)^2 = 1
   $$
   
   So,

$$
   h(-1) = 6(1) - 8
   $$

3. **Multiply and subtract:**

$$
   h(-1) = 6 - 8 = -2
   $$

**Answer:** $$ h(-1) = -2 $$
$$ h(-1) = -2 $$
