Solution

(- 3)^{2} - (- 2)^{3}

Solution

17

Solution steps

(- 3)^{2} - (- 2)^{3}

Follow the PEMDAS order of operations

Calculate exponents

(- 3)^{2} : 9

(- 3)^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(- a)^{n} = a^{n},

if

n

is even

(- 3)^{2} = 3^{2} = 9

= 9

= 9 - (- 2)^{3}

Calculate exponents

(- 2)^{3} : - 8

(- 2)^{3}

Apply exponent rule:

(- a)^{n} = - a^{n},

if

n

is odd

(- 2)^{3} = - 2^{3} = - 8

= - 8

= 9 - (- 8)

Add and subtract (left to right)

9 - (- 8) : 17

9 - (- 8)

Apply rule

- (- a) = + a

- (- 8) = + 8

= 9 + 8

9 + 8 = 17

= 17

= 17
