SOLUTION

We will be evaluating each expression using PEMDAS

The first expression is


\begin{gathered} 2^2*3^2-2^4-1 \\ 4*9-16-1 \\ 36-16-1=19 \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} \text{the second expression is } \\ 2^2*(3^2-2^3)-1 \\ \end{gathered}

Evaluate the parenthesis


\begin{gathered} 2^2*(9-8)-1 \\ 4*1-1 \\ 4-1=3 \end{gathered}

The third expression is


undefined
