Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

Identify.

f(x) = 8x² - 1

Step 2: Evaluate

1. Substitute in x [Function f(x)]:                                                                          f(2) = 8(2)² - 1
2. [Order of Operations] Simplify:                                                                        f(2) = 31
