\[\large\rm \color{orangered}{a=2},\qquad\color{royalblue}{b=-1},\qquad\color{#A57F02}{c=3}\] \[\large\rm −3\color{orangered}{a}^2 − \color{royalblue}{b}^3 + 3\color{#A57F02}{c}^2 − 2\color{royalblue}{b}^3\]So plug in your values,\[\large\rm −3\color{orangered}{(2)}^2 − \color{royalblue}{(-1)}^3 + 3\color{#A57F02}{(3)}^2 − 2\color{royalblue}{(-1)}^3\] And simplify! :)
I got 48
\[\large\rm −3(2)^2 − (-1)^3 + 3(3)^2 − 2(-1)^3\] \[\large\rm −3(4) − (-1) + 3(9) − 2(-1)\] \[\large\rm −12 +1 + 27 +2\] 48? Hmm that doesn't sound quite right.
22 ??
\[\large\rm −12 +1 + 27 +2\]\[\large\rm −12 +30\]Hmmm 22 doesn't sound quite right either :D lol
42 or -42 ?? lol
-12 + 30 is the same as 30 - 12
