Solution

- 80

Solution steps

(- 4)^{3} - (- 4)^{2}

Follow the PEMDAS order of operations

Calculate exponents

(- 4)^{3} : - 64

(- 4)^{3}

Apply exponent rule:

(- a)^{n} = - a^{n},

if

n

is odd

(- 4)^{3} = - 4^{3} = - 64

= - 64

= - 64 - (- 4)^{2}

Calculate exponents

(- 4)^{2} : 16

(- 4)^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(- a)^{n} = a^{n},

if

n

is even

(- 4)^{2} = 4^{2} = 16

= 16

= - 64 - 16

Add and subtract (left to right)

- 64 - 16 : - 80

- 64 - 16

- 64 - 16 = - 80

= - 80

= - 80
