Re: exponents

[(-2)^-2]^-3 = (-2)^6 = 64

[(-2)^-2]^-3

When you raise a power to a power, you MULTIPLY the exponents. So,

[(-2)<SUP>-2</SUP>]<SUP>-3</SUP> = [(-2)]<SUP>(-2)*(-3)</SUP>

or,

[(-2)]<SUP>6</SUP>

Can you take it from here?

...and remember that (-2)^6 is not same as -2^6; -2^6 means -(2^6)
