QuestionEvaluate the function $h(x)=-x^{2}$ for: a. $h(-8)$, b. $h\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right)$, c. $h\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)$.

Studdy Solution
Calculate the value of $h\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)$.
$$h\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) = -\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{2} = -\frac{1}{4}$$So, the indicated values are $h(-) = -64$, $h\left(-\frac{1}{2}\right) = -\frac{1}{4}$, and $h\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) = -\frac{1}{4}$.
