You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I'll do the first half to get you started. Please only post one problem at a time.


1) %28-2%29%5E4%2A%28-2%29%5E0=16%2A1+=+16. So %28-2%29%5E4%2A%28-2%29%5E0+=+16


2) -4+%2A+5%5E3+=+-4%2A125+=+-500+. So -4+%2A+5%5E3+=+-500+


3) -3+%2A+5%5E%28-2%29+=+-3%2A%281%2F5%5E2%29+=+-3%2F25 which means that -3+%2A+5%5E%28-2%29++=+-3%2F25
