Answer: -27

Step-by-step explanation: -3 raised to the power of 3 is written (-3) 3 = -27. Note that in this case the answer is the same for both -3 3 and (-3) 3 however they are still calculated differently. -3 3 = -1 * 3 * 3 * 3 = (-3) 3 = -3 * -3 * -3 = -27. For 0 raised to the 0 power the answer is 1 however this is considered a definition and not an actual calculation.

Instead of writing the full sentence “to the power of” you can just write “^”
If you want to write 3 to the fourth power, you can write 3^4
