A.

-871

B.

-781

C.

-187

D.

-178

Correct Answer: -178

Explanation

Hence f(x) = 2x3 - 11x2 + 8x - 1 f(-3) = 2(-3)3 - 11(-3)2 + 8(-3) - 1 = 2(-27) - 11(9) + 8(-3) - 1 = -54 - 99 - 24 - 1 = -178

Hence f(x) = 2x3 - 11x2 + 8x - 1 f(-3) = 2(-3)3 - 11(-3)2 + 8(-3) - 1 = 2(-27) - 11(9) + 8(-3) - 1 = -54 - 99 - 24 - 1 = -178
