Put x = -2 and y = 5 to the expression.

![\left[3\cdot(-2)^3(5)^{-2}\right]^2=\left[3(-8)\cdot\dfrac{1}{5^2}\right]^2=\left(-24\cdot\dfrac{1}{25}\right)^2=\left(-\dfrac{24}{25}\right)^2\\\\=\dfrac{24^2}{25^2}=\dfrac{576}{625}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5Cleft%5B3%5Ccdot%28-2%29%5E3%285%29%5E%7B-2%7D%5Cright%5D%5E2%3D%5Cleft%5B3%28-8%29%5Ccdot%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B5%5E2%7D%5Cright%5D%5E2%3D%5Cleft%28-24%5Ccdot%5Cdfrac%7B1%7D%7B25%7D%5Cright%29%5E2%3D%5Cleft%28-%5Cdfrac%7B24%7D%7B25%7D%5Cright%29%5E2%5C%5C%5C%5C%3D%5Cdfrac%7B24%5E2%7D%7B25%5E2%7D%3D%5Cdfrac%7B576%7D%7B625%7D)
explanation

For this case, the first thing you should do is pass the number given to percentage.
We have then:
b = 1.35
The percentage is:
(1.35) * (100) = 135%
Therefore, the growth is:
135% - 100% = 35%
Answer:
If b = 1.35, the annual percent growth rate of the number of horses would be 35%.
This statement means that the diver is going 30 meters under sea level. It is negative because sea level is 0, and anything below 0 is a negative.
