Question

Match the expressions in the left column with their correct answers given in the right column.

• A. $-729$
• B. $216$
• C. $-216$
• D. $729$

Answer 1

$\bullet$ $(-6{)}^3=-(6{)}^3=-216$

$\because (-1{)}^{odd}=-1$

$\bullet$ $-(-6{)}^3=-(-\left(6{)}^3\right)=6^3=216$

$\bullet$ $(-3{)}^6=+3^6=729$

$\because (-1{)}^{even}=1$

$\bullet$ $-(-3{)}^6=-(+3^6)=-(3{)}^6=-729$
