Any time you see an odd number of negatives you can already assume it is going to be negative. Negative^3 = negative, negative ^2 = positive.. because n*n = positive, p*n = n, and, n*n = just positive.

Answer: -22848x^2

Step-by-step explanation: It's negative because when two negatives are multiplied (-12 and -56), it makes it positive, so then when you multiply that by -34, it makes it negative.
