I can see the image of math problems you've uploaded. Let's begin solving the questions provided one by one.

Problem 14:

$f(x) = -x^3 + 2x^2 - 1 \quad \text{and} \quad f(-3)$ Substitute $x = -3$ into the function: $f(-3) = -(-3)^3 + 2(-3)^2 - 1$ $= -( -27 ) + 2(9) - 1 = 27 + 18 - 1 = 44$

Thus, $f(-3) = 44$.

Problem 15:

$g(x) = |13 - x^2| \quad \text{and} \quad g(1)$ Substitute $x = 1$ into the function: $g(1) = |13 - 1^2| = |13 - 1| = |12| = 12$

Thus, $g(1) = 12$.

Problem 16:

$p(x) = \frac{x^2 - 4}{2x + 1} \quad \text{and} \quad p(-8)$ Substitute $x = -8$ into the function: $p(-8) = \frac{(-8)^2 - 4}{2(-8) + 1} = \frac{64 - 4}{-16 + 1} = \frac{60}{-15} = -4$

Thus, $p(-8) = -4$.

Problem 17:

$h(x) = 3 \cdot 9^x \quad \text{and} \quad h(-2)$ Substitute $x = -2$ into the function: $h(-2) = 3 \cdot 9^{-2} = 3 \cdot \frac{1}{9^2} = 3 \cdot \frac{1}{81} = \frac{3}{81} = \frac{1}{27}$

Thus, $h(-2) = \frac{1}{27}$.

Would you like me to continue solving the rest of the problems, or provide further details on these solutions?
