Question

question evaluate. (-(2)^{5}) answer attempt 1 out of 2

Explanation:

Step1: Recall exponent - power rule

$(a)^n=a\times a\times\cdots\times a$ ($n$ times). Here $a = 2$ and $n = 5$.
$2^5=2\times2\times2\times2\times2$

Step2: Calculate $2^5$

$2\times2 = 4$, $4\times2=8$, $8\times2 = 16$, $16\times2=32$. So $2^5 = 32$.

Step3: Consider the negative sign

We have $-(2)^5$, so the result is $- 32$.

Answer:

$-32$
