Hi there! The answer is 3, so the last option is correct.
In order to ealuate the expression for the given value of the variable(s), we must plug in the value of x into the equation.
-x2 - 4x; x = –3
We get the following
[tex] - ( - 3) {}^{2} - 4 \times - 3 = [/tex]
Use PEMDAS, so work out the exponents first.
[tex] - 9 - 4 \times - 3[/tex]
Now multiply and remember that a negative times a negatives gives you a positive outcome.
[tex] - 9 + 12 = [/tex]
Add.
[tex]3[/tex]
Therefore, the answer is 3.
~ Hope this helps you!
