Answer 2

-32

Explanation:

The given expression is
`(-2)^(5)`

Here the base is -2 and the exponent is 5.

This expression means, we have to multiply the base -2 by itself 5 times.

`(-2)^(5)` = -2.-2.-2.-2.-2

Let's multiply first two terms and the second two terms.

= 4.4.-2

= 16.-2

= -32

Therefore, the answer
`(-2)^(5)` = -32
