Final answer:

The value of expression c(b: a) when a = -3, b = 4, and c = -6 is 8.

None of the option is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate the expression c(b: a) when a = -3, b = 4, and c = -6, we substitute the given values into the expression and perform the necessary calculations.

The expression c(b: a) means c multiplied by the quantity

(b divided by a).

Let's substitute the values:

c(b: a) = -6(4: -3)

Now, let's evaluate (4: -3), which means dividing 4 by -3:

= (4: -3)

= 4 / -3

= -4/3

Now, substitute the result into the expression:

c(b: a) = -6(-4/3)

To simplify, multiply -6 by -4/3:

= c(b: a)

= (-6) * (-4/3)

= 24/3

= 8

Therefore, the value of c(b: a) when a = -3, b = 4, and c = -6 is 8.

None of the option is true.
