Question

Accepted Answer

Hello, today we're going to be evaluating and simplifying the following expression. So what we are given is negative 12 race to the power of three. Now, in order to simplify this, let's go ahead and first evaluate 12 race to the power of three 12, raise to the power of three can be rewritten as 12 times itself three times. So let's go ahead and first evaluate this product. So 12 times 12 is going to give us 144. So we can go ahead and rewrite the product as 144 times 12. And finally 144 times 12 is going to give us a product of 1728. So what we know right now is that 12 rates to the power of three evaluates to 1,728. But we have to remember that we still have this negative sign in front of the quantity. So if we replace this 1,728 into the original expression, what we have is negative 1,728 and multiplying this positive number by the negative one in front of the quantity is going to give us negative 1,728, which is going to be the evaluated version of this given expression. And with that being said, the answer to this problem is going to be a so I hope this video helps you in understanding how to approach this problem. And I'll go ahead and see you all in the next video.
