Step 1: Understand the problem. The function f(x) = x^2 is given, and you are asked to evaluate f(-3). This means substituting -3 into the function f(x).
Step 2: Substitute -3 into the function. Replace x in f(x) = x^2 with -3, resulting in f(-3) = (-3)^2.
Step 3: Recall the rules of exponents. Squaring a negative number means multiplying the number by itself, so (-3)^2 = (-3) * (-3).
Step 4: Perform the multiplication. Multiply -3 by -3, keeping in mind that the product of two negative numbers is positive.
Step 5: Conclude that f(-3) = 9. This matches the correct answer provided in the problem.
