Evaluate the function, $f(x)=-3 x^{2}+4 x$ when $x=-8$.
Find the final answer: \(\boxed{-224}\)
Step 1 :Substitute x with -8 in the given function: f(-8) = -3(-8)^{2} + 4(-8)
Step 2 :Simplify the expression: f(-8) = -3(64) - 32
Step 3 :Calculate the value: f(-8) = -192 - 32
Step 4 :Find the final answer: \(\boxed{-224}\)
