Answer

$\dfrac{1}{11}$

Work Step by Step

Using order of operations, the expression $ \dfrac{(3-5)^2+(-1)^3}{1+2(3-(-1))^2} $ simplifies to \begin{array}{l} \dfrac{(-2)^2-1}{1+2(3+1)^2} \\\\= \dfrac{4-1}{1+2(4)^2} \\\\= \dfrac{3}{1+2(16)} \\\\= \dfrac{3}{1+32} \\\\= \dfrac{3}{33} \\\\= \dfrac{1}{11} .\end{array}
