The powers of maths I am not clear with it

Question

(-2) power of 6

Answer 1

Powers (exponents) are repeated multiplications.  (-2)⁶ means to multiply -2 six times:

 

(-2)⁶ = (-2)·(-2)·(-2)·(-2)·(-2)·(-2) = 64

 

When you raise a negative number to a power, the answer will be positive if the exponent is even and negative if the exponent is odd.
