ANSWER

C. 28

EXPLANATION

The given expression is

[tex] {x}^{2} - 7x + 10[/tex]

We want to evaluate this function at x=-2.

We just have to substitute x=-2 into the given expression.

In other words, we have to replace x with -2 wherever we see x in the expression

[tex]{( - 2)}^{2} - 7( - 2) + 10[/tex]

We evaluate the exponent to get

[tex]4 - 7( - 2) + 10[/tex]

We multiply next to get:

[tex]4 + 14+ 10[/tex]

We now add to obtain:

[tex]28[/tex]

The correct answer is C
