Yes.
Yes. Any multiplication involving an odd number of negative operands will be negative (assuming non-zero operands).
It is always negative when raised to an odd power and always positive when raised to an even power -2 to the third power = -2 x -2 x -2 = -8 -2 to the fourth power = -2 x -2 x -2 x -2 = +16
Only if an odd number of the factors are negative numbers.
Yes, a negative number raised to an odd power will simplify to a negative number. This is because when you multiply two negative numbers together, the result is always a positive number. However, when you raise a negative number to an odd power, the negative sign remains, resulting in a negative number. This is a fundamental property of exponents and is consistent across all mathematical operations involving negative numbers.
(-1)^3 = -1 Every negative number raised to the odd power is a negative number.
yes, but the answer will remain negative. for example, (-2)3 is -8 in order to make a negative number positive, it must be raised to an even power, for example (-2)2 = 4
Five is not a negative number. It is odd, but if you put a - in front of it, it IS negative.(Negative numbers are always preceded by a negative sign, like -5.)
You should try it. For example, (-2)3 = (-2)(-2)(-2) = -8.
The product of an odd number of negative numbers will be negative.
No, or more accurately "not necessarily".A negative to any even power is positive. -2, -4, -6 etc. are even, so a negative number raised to any of those powers will be positive.However, a negative number raised to an odd negative power (-1, -3, -5 etc.) will be negative.
No. -2 is negative and does not end with a odd number.
yes because the negatives cancel each other out, but if there is an odd number of negatives the answer is negative.
