Evaluate Using the Given Value f(-8)=(11(-8-24))/2

$f (- 8) = \frac{11 (- 8 - 24)}{2}$

Step 1

Cancel the common factor of $- 8 - 24$ and $2$ .

Factor $2$ out of $11 (- 8 - 24)$ .

$f (- 8) = \frac{2 (11 (- 4 - 12))}{2}$

Cancel the common factors.

Factor $2$ out of $2$ .

$f (- 8) = \frac{2 (11 (- 4 - 12))}{2 (1)}$

Cancel the common factor.

$f (- 8) = \frac{2 (11 (- 4 - 12))}{2 \cdot 1}$

Rewrite the expression.

$f (- 8) = \frac{11 (- 4 - 12)}{1}$

Divide $11 (- 4 - 12)$ by $1$ .

$f (- 8) = 11 (- 4 - 12)$

$f (- 8) = 11 (- 4 - 12)$

$f (- 8) = 11 (- 4 - 12)$

Step 2

Simplify the expression.

Subtract $12$ from $- 4$ .

$f (- 8) = 11 \cdot - 16$

Multiply $11$ by $- 16$ .

$f (- 8) = - 176$

$f (- 8) = - 176$
