Since there are no multiples other than 1 and -1 that could multiply in any way to equal 1, those are the only numbers you can really work with
it is a possibility that a, b, and c could equal 1 but then it would go wrong when comes time to subtract since all numbers are equal and cannot subtract largest from smallest.
a logical approach would be to try -1, -1, and 1 since -1 * -1 = 1 and then 1* 1 =1
we can make a= -1 , b= -1, and c= 1 (we need b to equal -1 so that we get an answer of -1 opposed to if we made a=-1 and c=-1, all outcomes would equal 1) -1²=1 -1³=-1 1⁴= 1 since 1 is the largest possible outcome and -1 is the lowest possible outcome you should subtract the two
