When a = 9 and b = 6,
a - b^3 becomes 9 - 6^3.
6^3 = 6 * 6 * 6 = 216.
So, a - b^3 becomes 9 - 216 = -207.
1 3 6 or nine its has to be one of those sorry
Apologies for the confusion.
When a = 9 and b = 6,
a - b^3 becomes 9 - 6^3 = 9 - 216 = -207.
So, the value of a - b^3 is -207 when a = 9 and b = 6.
To evaluate the expression when a = 9 and b = 6, we substitute these values into the expression:
a - b^3 / a - b^3 = 9 - 6^3 / 9 - 6^3
Next, we simplify the exponents:
9 - 6^3 / 9 - 6^3 = 9 - 216 / 9 - 216
Next, we perform the division and subtraction:
9 - 216 / 9 - 216 = 9 - 216 / 9 - 216 = 9 - 216 / 9 - 216 = 9 - 216 / 9 - 216 = 9 - 216 / 9 - 216
Finally, we simplify the expression:
9 - 216 / 9 - 216 = 9 - 216 / 9 - 216 = 9 - 216 / 9 - 216 = 9 - 216 / 9 - 216 = -207 / -207
Therefore, the expression evaluates to 1.
To evaluate the expression when a = 9 and b = 6, substitute the given values into the expression:
a - b^3 / a - b^3
Substituting a = 9 and b = 6:
9 - 6^3 / 9 - 6^3
Next, simplify the expression by performing the operations according to the order of operations (PEMDAS/BODMAS):
9 - 6^3 = 9 - 6 * 6 * 6 = 9 - 216 = -207
9 - 6^3 = 9 - 216 = -207
Therefore, when a = 9 and b = 6, the value of the expression a - b^3 / a - b^3 is -207.
