Explanation:
it's quite easy to go around this problem.
first you gotta consider the negative (-) sign..
you know when a negative sign multiplies another negative sign you'll get a positive sign.
example
-5*-5= ?
since you know the negative sign would turn to a positive sign when they multiply each other.
and be mindful of problems with different signs like
−6×9, you'll definitely get a negative answer
Now to your question.
(−5)^3, if you're struggling with composite expression,all you need is to break it down to simplified form
since it's -5 raised to the power of 3
you can as well write it as -5*-5*-5 (pay attention to the negative sign). then go through with your calculations
if you do it correctly, you'll arrive at the answer
-125
