(−2)³ = (-2)(-2)(-2)
Note that:
two negative numbers multiplied together results in a positive
one negative and one positive number multiplied results in a negative
Multiply:
(-2)(-2) = 4
4(-2) = -8
-8 is your answer
hope this helps

Explanation: Henlo :3
Given:

To find:
The simplified expression by factoring.
Solution:
Let us factor the numerator:

31x can be written as 3x + 28x.

Take 3x common in 1st two terms and 7 common in next two terms.

Make sure the remaining terms in the both brackets must be same.
Now, take out common factor (4x + 1).

In the same way, factorize the denominator:

8x can be written as 4x + 4x.

Take 4x common in 1st two terms and 1 common in next two terms.

Make sure the remaining terms in the both brackets must be same.
Now, take out common factor (4x + 1).

Substitute the terms we found for numerator and denominator:

Cancel the common factors.

The simplified expression is

Answer:
1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
simplify
81^(-1/4)
= 1/81^(1/4)
= 1/[3×3×3×3]^(1/4). (factorize 81)
= 1/[3]^(4/4)
= 1/3
