Question

Evaluate x^y, when x=-2 and y=3

Answer 1

The answer is:

-8

Step-by-step explanation:

Plug in the value of each variable.

`\sf{x^y}`

`\sf{-2^3}`

Multiply -2 by itself 3 times. Remember, the exponent tells us how many times the base should be multiplied by itself:

`\sf{-8}`

Hence, the answer is -8.

Answer 2

- 8

Step-by-step explanation:

given

`x^(y)` ( substitute x = - 2 and y = 3 )

=
`(-2)^(3)`

= - 2 × - 2 × - 2

= 4 × - 2

= - 8
