In order to measure the volume of a brick that contains holes, what you need to do is to get the volume of both the brick as a whole, and the volume of the holes. Once you have the volume, you subtract the volume of the holes to the volume of the brick. The final answer would be the volume of a brick that contains holes. Hope this helps!
The question is simply asking you to evaluate the function for an input value of -3. Meaning we plug in -3 for all cases of n. (-3)^3 + (-3). This gives us -27 -3 which is -30. So g(-3)= -30
