Solve -8(-1)^3-6(-1)^2+6(-1)-9=

$$- 8 ( - 1 ) ^ { 3 } - 6 ( - 1 ) ^ { 2 } + 6 ( - 1 ) - 9 =$$

Evaluate

$$-13$$

Solution Steps

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

$$-8\left(-1\right)-6\left(-1\right)^{2}+6\left(-1\right)-9$$

Multiply -8 and -1 to get 8.

$$8-6\left(-1\right)^{2}+6\left(-1\right)-9$$

Calculate -1 to the power of 2 and get 1.

$$8-6\times 1+6\left(-1\right)-9$$

Multiply 6 and 1 to get 6.

$$8-6+6\left(-1\right)-9$$

Subtract 6 from 8 to get 2.

$$2+6\left(-1\right)-9$$

Multiply 6 and -1 to get -6.

$$2-6-9$$

Subtract 6 from 2 to get -4.

$$-4-9$$

Subtract 9 from -4 to get -13.

$$-13$$

Factor

$$-13$$
