We are given the function:
g(n) =
We need to find what g(-3) equals.
What the question is asking is what is the resulting value after you plug in -3 as n to the function. Meaning you replace the n that is in the function with -3.
g(-3) =
Remember back to the order of operations.

For this problem we can keep the fraction as it is (unless you are permitted to use a calculator... if that is the case then just plug all that into a calculator) and keep going to the exponent.
Negative exponents make fractions FLIP. So our fraction will look like this:
Now that we have it without the negative exponent we need to distribute the cubed power to each number in the fraction (which is essentially the same as saying this:
)
We ARE NOT done! We still have this left:
g(-3) =
Multiplying by 3 you get the following:
So what does g(-3) equal? This right here:
g(n) =
