Question

Why is (-5) to the 28th power positive but without parentheses it is negative?

Answer 1

Answer:= (10+5^2)*((5*-2)+9-3^3)/2

= (10+25)*((5*-2)+9-3^3)/2

= (35)*((5*-2)+9-3^3)/2

= 35*((5*-2)+9-3^3)/2

= 35*((-10)+9-3^3)/2

= 35*(-10+9-3^3)/2

= 35*(-10+9-27)/2

= 35*(-1-27)/2

= 35*(-28)/2

= 35*-28/2

= -980/2

= -490
