Step-by-step explanation:
As with any evaluation problem, take it step by step according to the order of operations.
The first thing you need to do here is compute a#b.
The given definition can be simplified a bit for evaluation purposes:
a#b = a²b -ab² = ab(a -b)
Then for a=3 and b=-2, you have ...
(3)#(-2) = (3)(-2)(3 -(-2)) = -6(5) = -30
Now, you are in a position to evaluate the expression you're asked for.
