Given the function defined by g(x) = - {x}^(2) + 3x + 3 find g(-1). Express numbers as integers or simplified fraction

Question

Given the function defined by


`g(x) = - {x}^(2) + 3x + 3`
find g(-1). Express numbers as integers or simplified fraction

Answer 1

Steps

So to find g(-1), plug -1 into the x variable and simplify as such:

`g(-1)=-(-1)^2+3(-1)+3\\g(-1)=-1-3+3\\g(-1)=-1`

Answer

In short, g(-1) = -1
