Determine the function's value when x = - 1.

g (x) = x3 + 6x2 + 12x + 8

g (-1) = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Using " ^ " to denote exponentiation, we get:

g (x) = x^3 + 6x^2 + 12x + 8

Substituting - 1 for x, we get:

g (-1) = (-1) ^3 + 6 (-1) ^2 + 12 (-1) + 8, or

g (-1) = - 1 + 6 - 12 + 8, or

g (-1) = 1
