Hello! In this question, we are trying to solve the expression with a given value.
__________________________________________________________
Explanation:
In this question, we were given our f(x) equation: f(x) = x² - 3
We were also given the value of our variable "x": -3
To solve the expression, we would plug in our "x" value, -3, into the "x" variables in our expression and solve.
Solve:
f(x) = x² - 3
f(-3) = (-3)² - 3
= 9 - 3
= 6
Therefore, the value of f(-3) is 6.

Answer:
f(-3) = 6
__________________________________________________________
To solve this problem, you will substitute an existing value into a function in order to find the y-coordinate at that x-coordinate.
Substitute
Given the function f(x) = x² - 3, evaluate the function at f(-3) by substituting in x = -3:
[tex]f(-3) = -3^2-3[/tex]
Use Order of Operations
Use BPEMDAS, which stands for:
Brackets
Parentheses
Exponents
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction
First, evaluate -3².
[tex]-3\times-3=9[/tex]
Then, evaluate the rest of the expression by subtracting 3 from 9:
[tex]9 - 3 = \boxed{6}[/tex]
The final answer is f(-3) = 6.
