Question
### Calculating Values for the Function \( f(x) = 3x^2 - 8x + 8 \)

Given the quadratic function \( f(x) = 3x^2 - 8x + 8 \), calculate the following values:

1. \( f(-2) = \) 
2. \( f(-1) = \)
3. \( f(0) = \)
4. \( f(1) = \)
5. \( f(2) = \)

To calculate the values, substitute the given \( x \) values into the function and simplify.

#### Detailed Explanations:

1. **For \( x = -2 \):**
   \[
   f(-2) = 3(-2)^2 - 8(-2) + 8 
   \]
   Simplify the expression to find the value.

2. **For \( x = -1 \):**
   \[
   f(-1) = 3(-1)^2 - 8(-1) + 8
   \]
   Simplify the expression to find the value.

3. **For \( x = 0 \):**
   \[
   f(0) = 3(0)^2 - 8(0) + 8
   \]
   Simplify the expression to find the value.

4. **For \( x = 1 \):**
   \[
   f(1) = 3(1)^2 - 8(1) + 8
   \]
   Simplify the expression to find the value.

5. **For \( x = 2 \):**
   \[
   f(2) = 3(2)^2 - 8(2) + 8
   \]
   Simplify the expression to find the value.
