You should try it. For example, (-2)3 = (-2)(-2)(-2) = -8.

When a negative number is raised to an even power the result is a positive number
It is the positive form of the number raised to that power, multpilied by -1 raised to that power.
There is no answer - it is an error: negative numbers do not have logarithms. The log if a number tells to what power the (positive) base must be raised to get the number. Raising any positive number to any power will never result in a negative number, so it is an error to try and take the log of a negative number.
No. Negative numbers to even powers are positive.
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
