Question

(−1) to the power of 3

Answer 1

-1

Explanation:

Note that whenever you have a odd number in the power sign, you keep the sign. If the power number is even, you flip the sign.

In this case:

(-1)³ = (-1)(-1)(-1)

(-1)(-1) = 1

(1)(-1) = -1

-1 is your answer

Answer 2

(-1) ^3

-(1) * (-1) * (-1)

1 * (-1)

=-1

Answer: -1
