Chapter 3.1, Problem 23E

Explanation of Solution

Given: The numeric expression is $b^\left(c-a\right)$ and the three variables, such as a = 2, b = 3, and c = 4.

To find: The value of the numeric expression $b^\left(c-a\right)$ , where the value of the variables named a, b, and c are 2, 3, and 4, respectively.

Solution:

Substitute the value of the variables a = 2, b=3, and c = 4 into the expression $b^\left(c-a\right)$ .

$\begin{array}{l}b^\left(c-a\right)=3^\left(4-2\right)\\ \end{array}$
