we are given the following expression:
we are asked to plug in the following constants, b = -9 and k = 4, to do that, we will replace the values given for b and k in the expression, like this:
Now we will solve the multiplications inside the parenthesis, like this:
Now we will solve the operation inside the parenthesis, we get:
Now we solve the multiplication:
therefore, the final answer after pluging in b and k is -792.
