Solve -1+1/--1^2--1+-1^3-1

$$-1+ \frac{ 1 }{ - { -1 }^{ 2 } --1+ { -1 }^{ 3 } } -1$$

Evaluate

$$-3$$

Solution Steps

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

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

The opposite of -1 is 1.

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

Add -1 and 1 to get 0.

$$-1+\frac{1}{0+\left(-1\right)^{3}}-1$$

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

$$-1+\frac{1}{0-1}-1$$

Subtract 1 from 0 to get -1.

$$-1+\frac{1}{-1}-1$$

Divide 1 by -1 to get -1.

$$-1-1-1$$

Subtract 1 from -1 to get -2.

$$-2-1$$

Subtract 1 from -2 to get -3.

$$-3$$

Factor

$$-3$$
