Exercise 14 Page 657

Substitute - 3 for a, - 4 for b, and 1 for c.

- 3

Practice makes perfect
To evaluate the given expression for a = - 3, b = - 4 and c = 1, we should substitute these values into the expression and simplify as much as possible.
a(1 - bc)^2/1 - b
- 3(1 - ( - 4)( 1))/1 - ( - 4)
- 3(1 - (- 4))/1 - (- 4)
- 3(5)/5
- 3
