Question

$$2(-1)^{3}+(-1)^{2}-2(-1)-1$$

Evaluate

$0$

Solution Steps

Calculate $-1$ to the power of $3$ and get $-1$.

$$2\left(-1\right)+\left(-1\right)^{2}-2\left(-1\right)-1$$

Multiply $2$ and $-1$ to get $-2$.

$$-2+\left(-1\right)^{2}-2\left(-1\right)-1$$

Calculate $-1$ to the power of $2$ and get $1$.

$$-2+1-2\left(-1\right)-1$$

Add $-2$ and $1$ to get $-1$.

$$-1-2\left(-1\right)-1$$

Multiply $2$ and $-1$ to get $-2$.

$$-1-\left(-2\right)-1$$

The opposite of $-2$ is $2$.

$$-1+2-1$$

Add $-1$ and $2$ to get $1$.

$$1-1$$

Subtract $1$ from $1$ to get $0$.

$$0$$

Factor

$0$
