Answer:

The power in repeated multiplication form is (-2)*(-2)*(-2)

The value of the power is -8

=====================================================

Reason:

Exponents represent repeated multiplication. The small number up top is the exponent that tells us how many copies of the base to multiply

In this case, the exponent 3 tells us we have 3 copies of "-2" multiplied together to get (-2)*(-2)*(-2)

This simplifies to -8
