Question

how do I solve:

-1 cubed-(-1)to the fourth +(-1) to the fifth - (-1)to the sixth

thanks

Answer 1

We use ^ to show exponents,
e.g. 5^3 = 5 cubed

Please retype you question in that notation.

Answer 2

do you mean,
[(-1)^3]-[(-1)^4]+[(-1)^5]-[(-1)^6] ?
if it is,
[(-1)^3]-[(-1)^4]+[(-1)^5]-[(-1)^6]
(-1) - 1 + (-1) - (1)
simplifying, we get -4,,

so there, =)
