Explanation:
We have to multiply -4 by itself 3 times: (-4)³ = (-4)x(-4)x(-4)
The first time we'll have a positive number, because the product of two negative numbers is a positive number:
[tex](-4)\times(-4)=4\times4=16[/tex]Now we just have to solve 16x(-4). The result will be a negative number, because the product between a positive and a negative number is negative:
[tex]16\times(-4)=-(16\times4)=-64[/tex]Answer:
(-4)³ = -64
