Evaluate each exponential expression: (-3)^3 (-2)^2

Question

Accepted Answer

Hello. Everyone in this video we're going to be evaluating the expression negative seven squared times negative six to the third. So in this expression we can see that there's two sort of components. We have negative seven squared and then we have the negative six to the third. So I'm going to deal with each of those components separately and then combine them in order to simplify the problem. So first I have negative seven squared. So if I simplify this I get negative squared, which becomes positive 49. So now I have the first component and now I can deal with the -6 to the 3rd And note that this one is going to stay negative because it's to the third power. And when I do six to the third I get to 16. So now I can recombine these components and I get 49 Times - 16. And when I evaluate this I get -10584. So this becomes my final answer for negative seven squared times negative six to the third. And when I look at the answer options, answer B aligns with The -10584.
