The way to put this is that <em>any </em><em>negative</em><em> </em><em>base</em> raised to an odd-numbered power, will result in a negative result, whereas <em>any</em><em> </em><em>negative</em><em> </em>base raised to an even-numbered power, will result in a positive result, with the EXCEPTION of a negative base written WITHOUT grouping symbols. For instanse:

\displaystyle -1000 = -10^3 \\ -1000 = [-10]^3 \\ \\ BUT \\ \\ 10000 ≠ -10^4\:[-10000 = -10^4] \\ 10000 = [-10]^4

I hope you know the differense now, and as always, I am joyous to assist anyone at any time.

Answer:

because it's an odd exponent

Step-by-step explanation:

-2^3 = -(2*2*2)

(-2)^3 = (-2)*(-2)*(-2)

if it was ^4 the sign would be flipped:

-2^4 = -(2*2*2*2) = -16

(-2)^4 = (-2)*(-2)*(-2)*(-2) = 16

Troy is going to spain and needs to convert his dollars to euros. He knows that when he goes, $5.00 is equivalent to about 3.45
blsea [12.9K]

As the question says that Tory knows for $5 he will get 3.45 euros.

Now for the euro trip he needs to know the rate of conversion or the rate of euros per dollar.

To find the rate of conversion we need to use unitary method.

As we know that at the given rate he gets,

3.45 euros for $5

or the other way around

\$5=3.45 euros

Now, using the unitary method we get,

\$1=\frac{3.45}{5} =\0.69 euro

Therefore, at the given rate we can see that for each dollar Tory would get 0.69 euro.
