Question

evaluate.
-1^7 =
submit

Explanation:

Step1: Understand the exponentiation

The expression is \(-1^7\). Here, the exponent \(7\) applies only to the base \(1\) (because the negative sign is not inside parentheses with the \(1\)). So we first calculate \(1^7\).
\(1^7 = 1\times1\times1\times1\times1\times1\times1 = 1\)

Step2: Apply the negative sign

Now, we apply the negative sign to the result of \(1^7\). So \(-1^7 = -1\)

Answer:

\(-1\)
