Question

Christian says that when you raise a base number to a power of 3, it is impossible for the number to get smaller. Do you agree or disagree? Prove your answer.

Answer 1

disagree

at first glance, you would agree that a # to the third power would be greater, however, when the base is a negative #, the result is a negative and smaller #.

for example, 3^3 = 27 but if it is -3^3, the answer is -27.
