What is the value of 3 - 6 (Z - 2) ^3 if Z equals - 2 what is the value

387

Step-by-step explanation:

To evaluate 3 - 6 (Z - 2) ^3 at Z = - 2, replace Z with - 2:

3 - 6 (-2 - 2) ^3

Simplify this result, obtaining 3 - 6 (-4) ^3.

According to order of operations rules, exponentiation must be done first here, before multiplication and before subtraction. Therefore:

3 - 6 (-4) ^3 → 3 - 6 (-64). Again, these rules require that we multiply before subtracting:

3 - 6 (-64) = 3 + 384, or 387
