Final answer:
Substitute the given value of b into the expression and simplify to find the value.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this expression, substitute the given value of b into the expression. The given value is b = -2.
| -4b -8 | + | -1 - b^2 | + 2b^3 ; b= -2
= | -4(-2) -8 | + | -1 - (-2)^2 | + 2(-2)^3
= | 8 - 8 | + | -1 - 4 | + 2(-8)
= | 0 | + | -5 | -16
= 0 + 5 - 16
= -11
