(-1) ^ 101 is -1

to an even power it would be 1

negative* ( negative ) = positive

to an odd power it is negative

positive * negative = negative

since 101 means there are (-1) *-1.......101 time

it is odd


-1 *-1 =1

this is an even power

1 * -1 = -1

this is an odd power

since 101 is odd

it will be negative
