Answer: It is multiplying by 6 each time
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:
An 80-foot rope is attached to a boat
7 feet above the water level as shown and a
boy jumps over the wake while
wakeboarding. What is the distance between
his hands and the water level?
80 ft

Answer:2.81 feet
Anything greater than (1/5) that is positive
Ex. (1/4), (1/3), (1/2), 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
