Question 46266: ooops! sent the other one too soon. I have to show my work with this problem- can you show me how to do it rather than just give me the answer so I do the others in the book, please?
Simplify:
-[-(-1)15] (that *15* means the power of 15) So since the answer without the *15* would be -1, then with the 15th power would it be -15 since negative times a positive is a negative?
Thank you!
Thank you!

Answer by mystic1306(20)   (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
if your question is -[-(-1)]to the 15th power try this
first multiply out the negitives
- times - equals postive (+)
+ times - is negitive (-)
so you have -1^15
15 is an odd number your answer will be negitive
so you go
-1*-1*-1*-1*-1*-1*-1*-1*-1*-1*-1*-1*-1*-1*-1= -1
* means multiply
multiply -1 times -1 15 times
