To find [tex]\( G(-3) \)[/tex] for the function [tex]\( G(x) = 3x^2 + 7 \)[/tex], follow these steps:
1. Substitute the value [tex]\( -3 \)[/tex] for [tex]\( x \)[/tex] in the function [tex]\( G(x) \)[/tex].
[tex]\[ G(-3) = 3(-3)^2 + 7 \][/tex]
2. Calculate the square of [tex]\( -3 \)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ (-3)^2 = 9 \][/tex]
3. Multiply the result by 3:
[tex]\[ 3 \times 9 = 27 \][/tex]
4. Add 7 to the product:
[tex]\[ 27 + 7 = 34 \][/tex]
Thus, the value of [tex]\( G(-3) \)[/tex] is:
[tex]\[ G(-3) = 34 \][/tex]
