Solve (-2)^2-(-3)^3-(-1)^3-(-1)^4=

$$( - 2 ) ^ { 2 } - ( - 3 ) ^ { 3 } - ( - 1 ) ^ { 3 } - ( - 1 ) ^ { 4 } =$$

Evaluate

$$31$$

Solution Steps

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

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

Calculate -3 to the power of 3 and get -27.

$$4-\left(-27\right)-\left(-1\right)^{3}-\left(-1\right)^{4}$$

The opposite of -27 is 27.

$$4+27-\left(-1\right)^{3}-\left(-1\right)^{4}$$

Add 4 and 27 to get 31.

$$31-\left(-1\right)^{3}-\left(-1\right)^{4}$$

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

$$31-\left(-1\right)-\left(-1\right)^{4}$$

The opposite of -1 is 1.

$$31+1-\left(-1\right)^{4}$$

Add 31 and 1 to get 32.

$$32-\left(-1\right)^{4}$$

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

$$32-1$$

Subtract 1 from 32 to get 31.

$$31$$

Factor

$$31$$
