Solve -1^3--1^4+-2^2-2^3+{left(-1-1right)}^2

$${ -1 }^{ 3 } - { -1 }^{ 4 } + { -2 }^{ 2 } - { 2 }^{ 3 } + { \left(-1-1 \right) }^{ 2 }$$

Evaluate

$$-2$$

Solution Steps

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

$$-1-\left(-1\right)^{4}+\left(-2\right)^{2}-2^{3}+\left(-1-1\right)^{2}$$

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

$$-1-1+\left(-2\right)^{2}-2^{3}+\left(-1-1\right)^{2}$$

Subtract 1 from -1 to get -2.

$$-2+\left(-2\right)^{2}-2^{3}+\left(-1-1\right)^{2}$$

Calculate -2 to the power of 2 and get 4.

$$-2+4-2^{3}+\left(-1-1\right)^{2}$$

Add -2 and 4 to get 2.

$$2-2^{3}+\left(-1-1\right)^{2}$$

Calculate 2 to the power of 3 and get 8.

$$2-8+\left(-1-1\right)^{2}$$

Subtract 8 from 2 to get -6.

$$-6+\left(-1-1\right)^{2}$$

Subtract 1 from -1 to get -2.

$$-6+\left(-2\right)^{2}$$

Calculate -2 to the power of 2 and get 4.

$$-6+4$$

Add -6 and 4 to get -2.

$$-2$$

Factor

$$-2$$
