Step 1: The negative on the exponent means this thing is on the wrong side of the fraction. Since there is no fraction written, it's by default in the top of a fraction over 1.


(-4)^(-3) = ((-4)^(-3))/(1)

So, move that to the bottom of the fraction and make sure the exponent becomes positive:


((-4)^(-3))/(1) =(1)/((-4)^(3))

Now you have to decide what
(-4)^3 is.
