Find $f(-3)$ for the following functions.
(A) $f\left(x\right)=2x^2-4x+1$

• A. $31$
• B. $29$
• C. $34$
• D. $25$

Answer: (A)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Identify the function given: \(f(x) = 2x^2 - 4x + 1\).
2. Substitute the value \(x = -3\) into the function to find \(f(-3)\): replace every \(x\) with \(-3\) in the expression.
3. Calculate the square of \(-3\), which is \((-3)^2\).
4. Multiply the squared value by 2, then multiply \(-3\) by 4, and keep the constant term 1 as is.
5. Combine all the terms: \$2(-3)^2 - 4(-3) + 1\(, and simplify step-by-step to find the value of \)f(-3)$.
