Question

Evaluate the exponent expression for a = –1 and b = 2.

–3ab–2


Question 3 options:


5/8


3/4


3



12

Answer 1

its 3/4

Explanation:

Answer 2

To find the answer, we simply have to substitute the values for a and b that the question gave us into the expression.

In this case, that would be substituting a = -1 and b = 2 into -3ab - 2.

`-3(-1)(2) - 2`

`= 3(2) - 2`

`= 6 - 2`

`= 4`

Hence, the answer is 4. However, there is no option with 4 for Question 3, so I would suggest OP to check the question again to confirm if there is no option with the answer as 4.
