Evaluate the expression for the given value of the variable.

Answer 1

The value of the expression at b = -2 is thus -6

Explanation:

We have been given the expression;

`|b|+b^(3)`

and we are required to evaluate the expression for b = -2

We simply substitute b with -2 in the given expression and simplify;

`|-2|+(-2)^(3)\\\\|-2|=2\\\\(-2)^(3)=-2*-2*-2=-8\\ \\|-2|+(-2)^3=2+(-8)=2-8=-6`
