Solve -1^3-2*-1^2-4*-1-1

$$- { 1 }^{ 3 } -2 \times - { 1 }^{ 2 } -4 \times -1-1$$

Evaluate

$$4$$

Solution Steps

Calculate 1 to the power of 3 and get 1.

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

Calculate 1 to the power of 2 and get 1.

$$-1-2\left(-1\right)-4\left(-1\right)-1$$

Multiply 2 and -1 to get -2.

$$-1-\left(-2\right)-4\left(-1\right)-1$$

The opposite of -2 is 2.

$$-1+2-4\left(-1\right)-1$$

Add -1 and 2 to get 1.

$$1-4\left(-1\right)-1$$

Multiply 4 and -1 to get -4.

$$1-\left(-4\right)-1$$

The opposite of -4 is 4.

$$1+4-1$$

Add 1 and 4 to get 5.

$$5-1$$

Subtract 1 from 5 to get 4.

$$4$$

Factor

$$2^{2}$$
