What does a negative base raised to an even exponent result in?

Back

A negative base raised to an even exponent results in a positive number. For example, (-4)^2 = 16.

Front

What does a negative base raised to an odd exponent result in?

Back

A negative base raised to an odd exponent results in a negative number. For example, (-3)^3 = -27.
