Answer

The value of\[f\left( -2 \right)\]is\[21\].

Work Step by Step

In the given above expression, replace\[x\]with\[-2\]. \[\begin{align} & f\left( x \right)=3{{x}^{2}}-7x-5 \\ & =3{{\left( -2 \right)}^{2}}-7\left( -2 \right)-5 \\ & =12+14-5 \\ & =21 \end{align}\] Therefore, the value of the function\[f\left( x \right)=3{{x}^{2}}-7x-5\], for \[x=-2\]is\[21\].
