QUESTION:
What is the factored form of (-5)³?
ANSWER:
FACTORING
- it is the process of expressing a given number or algebraic expression as the product of its factors
FACTORED FORM
- it is the form in which each of the factors of a particular number or algebraic expression is given
[tex] \large \rm (-5)³ = \red{ ( - 5)( - 5)( - 5)}[/tex]
Exponent tells as the number of times we need to multiply a number by itself.
Thus, the factored form of (-5)³ is (-5)(-5)(-5). This results to -125.
