1. The problem asks us to find the value of the function $f(x) = 3x^3 + 7x^2 + 5x$ at $x = -3$.
2. To find $f(-3)$, substitute $-3$ into the function:
$$f(-3) = 3(-3)^3 + 7(-3)^2 + 5(-3)$$
3. Calculate each term:
- $(-3)^3 = -27$
- $(-3)^2 = 9$
4. Substitute these values back:
$$f(-3) = 3(-27) + 7(9) + 5(-3)$$
5. Multiply:
$$f(-3) = -81 + 63 - 15$$
6. Combine the terms step-by-step:
$$-81 + 63 = -18$$
$$-18 - 15 = -33$$
7. Therefore, the value of $f(-3)$ is:
$$f(-3) = -33$$
The correct answer is B.
