Given h (t) = -2 (t+5) ^2+4, find h (-8)

-334

-14

-45

-445

Substitute - 8 for t in the expression, and now you have: h (-8) = - 2[ (-8) + 5]^2 + 4. Solve inside the parentheses; add - 8 and 5.

h (-8) = - 2[-3]^2 + 4, solve exponents next by squaring - 3.

h (-8) = - 2[9] + 4, multiply - 2 and 9.

h (-8) = [-18] + 4, add - 18 and 4.

h (-8) = - 14.
