Answer:

B) −216

Explanation:

(−6) ^3

= (−6) * (−6) * (−6)

= -216

An exponent means the number of times to write out the base to multiply by. The base is -6.

When multiplying negative integers, an odd number of factors creates a negative answer. A positive answer is when there are an even number of factors. There are 3 factors, an odd number.
