Without performing actual computations, explain why (-29)(-29)(-29) is smaller than (-29)(-29).
------------
if you define smaller as more negative, ie, -5 < -4.
(-29)^2 is a positive number, but the magnitude of (-29)^3 is greater.
--------------
-5 is less than -4, but that's not always the same as "smaller than."
