If I'm reading this correctly, it is 2*3*n*n = 6n^2
6n^2 = 54 Divide by 6
n^2 = 54/6
n^2 = 9 Take the square root of both sides.
sqrt(n^2) = sqrt(9)
n = +/- 3
n = + 3 or n = -3. Both will solve the equation above.
Edit
2 * 3 * n * n
Let n = 3
2 * 3 * 3 * 3 = 6 * 9 = 54
The other value is n = - 2
2 * 3 * n * n
2 * 3 * (-3) * (-3) A minus times a minus is a plus.
2 * 3 * 9 = 6 * 9 = 54
both + 3 and - 3 for n will give 54.
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) =

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:
