Evaluate the expression for the given value of the variable.
|−4b−8|+∣∣−1−b2∣∣+2b3
; b=−2
To evaluate the expression, we replace each instance of b with -2:
|-4(-2) - 8| + ||-1 - (-2)^2|| + 2(-2)^3
Simplifying further:
|8 - 8| + ||-1 - 4|| + 2(-8)
Continuing to simplify:
|0| + ||-1 - 4|| + (-16)
Next, calculate the absolute values:
0 + ||-1 - 4|| + (-16)
Continuing to simplify:
0 + |-5| + (-16)
Since the absolute value of -5 is 5, we have:
0 + 5 + (-16)
Finally, adding all the terms:
5 + (-16)
The answer is -11.
