Rewrite the expression with $x$ replaced by $-1$: wherever you see $x$, write $(-1)$ so you can handle the negative sign correctly.

Compute $(-1)^2$ first, then multiply by 3, then handle the product $-5(-1)$, and finally add all the terms together.

In Desmos, type 3(-1)^2 - 5(-1) + 2 exactly as written (with the parentheses). Press Enter and read the numerical result shown; that value is $g(-1)$.

The function is defined by $g(x) = 3x^2 - 5x + 2$.

The expression $g(-1)$ means: take the formula for $g(x)$ and replace every $x$ with $-1$, then simplify.

Write $g(-1)$ by substituting $x = -1$ into the expression:

Using parentheses around $-1$ helps keep track of signs, especially when squaring and multiplying.

First, evaluate the power: $(-1)^2 = 1$, so $3(-1)^2 = 3 \cdot 1 = 3$.

Next, multiply in the middle term: $-5(-1) = 5$.

Now add all the terms:

So, $g(-1) = 10$.
