Given:
.

.
You are asked to evaluate this when a = 3 and b = 4. So all you need to do is replace a with 3
and replace b with 4.
.
When you make these two substitutions the problem then becomes:
.

.
Combine the two terms inside the parentheses by subtracting 4 from 3 to get -1. This reduces the
problem to:
.

.
You then cube -1 by multiplying it by itself three times ... -1 times -1 times -1. If you
do that multiplication you get -1 as the answer.
.
So the answer to this problem is that when a = 3 and b = 4 then:
.

.
Hope this helps you to understand the problem.
