Does (-4)(-4)(-4)(-4)(-4)(-4) = 4 to the 6 power or negative 4 to the 6 power

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 11-09-08] [Hit: ]
this is because 2 negative numbers multiplied together produce a positive number.-it is actually -4 to the sixth but it is not false saying 4 to the 6 power because both the values are numerically equal.-Since the exponent is an even number, it is equal to write (4)^6 or (-4)^6 because the answer will always be positive anyways!ur multiplying -4 six times not 4-you do know ??......
(-4)^6
but the result is the same in either case: 4096, due to the even power if it were an odd power, it would be negative. this is because 2 negative numbers multiplied together produce a positive number.

-
(-4)^6

-
-4 to the 6th

-
-4 to the sixth
ur multiplying -4 six times not 4

-
you do know ?? that 4 ^6 = (-4)^6
