-3*2-((-2)^(2)-4)^(3)
Squaring an expression is the same as multiplying the expression by itself 2 times.
-3*2-(((-2)(-2))-4)^(3)
Multiply -2 by -2 to get 4.
-3*2-(((4))-4)^(3)
Remove the parentheses around the expression 4.
-3*2-((4)-4)^(3)
Remove the parentheses around the expression 4.
-3*2-(4-4)^(3)
Subtract 4 from 4 to get 0.
-3*2-(0)^(3)
Expand the exponent (3) to the expression.
-3*2-(0^(3))
Cubing a number is the same as multiplying the number by itself 3 times (0*0*0). In this case, 0 cubed is 0.
-3*2-(0)
Multiply -3 by 2 to get -6.
-6-(0)
Multiply -1 by the 0 inside the parentheses.
-6+0
Add 0 to -6 to get -6.
-6
