Answer: a. 100 b. 27512

Explanation:

a. a = -2 and b = 3

by substituting a and b values in the given expression, we get

(a+4b)² = ((-2)+4(3))²

= ((-2)+12)²

= (10)²

= 100

b. (a²+8ab+166²)

by substituting a and b values in the given expression, we get

= ((-2)²+8(-2)(3)+166²)

= (4+8(-6)+27556)

= (4-48+27556)

= 27512
