Solve 5-1^4-3*-1/4-1^3

$$\frac{ 5 { -1 }^{ 4 } -3 \cdot -1 }{ 4 { -1 }^{ 3 } }$$

Evaluate

$$-2$$

Solution Steps

Calculate -1 to the power of 4 and get 1.

$$\frac{5\times 1-3\left(-1\right)}{4\left(-1\right)^{3}}$$

Multiply 5 and 1 to get 5.

$$\frac{5-3\left(-1\right)}{4\left(-1\right)^{3}}$$

Multiply 3 and -1 to get -3.

$$\frac{5-\left(-3\right)}{4\left(-1\right)^{3}}$$

The opposite of -3 is 3.

$$\frac{5+3}{4\left(-1\right)^{3}}$$

Add 5 and 3 to get 8.

$$\frac{8}{4\left(-1\right)^{3}}$$

Calculate -1 to the power of 3 and get -1.

$$\frac{8}{4\left(-1\right)}$$

Multiply 4 and -1 to get -4.

$$\frac{8}{-4}$$

Divide 8 by -4 to get -2.

$$-2$$
