need help with these. I get either -16 or 16, but it can be both. for the first one

Given
To find:
The value of a) f(-4), b) f(0), c) f(3).
Explanation:
It is given that,
That implies,
For x=-4,
[tex]\begin{gathered} f(-4)=(-4)^2 \\ =-4\times-4 \\ =16 \end{gathered}[/tex]For x=0, f(0) = -3.
For x=3,
[tex]\begin{gathered} f(3)=2(3)+3 \\ =6+3 \\ =9 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the answers are a) 16, b) -3, c) 9.
