Question

Simplify the expression.

–2^3


A) 6


B) 8


C) 4


D) –8

Answer 1

(-2)^3

Exponent means to multiply the number to itself, in this case we do it three times:

-2 * -2 * -2

4 * -2

-8

Answer 2

Hey there! :D

That's like saying:

-2*-2*-2

-2*-2=4

4*-2= 8

"D" -8 <== the answer

I hope this helps!
