Math Problem Statement

-3 * (-4) - ((-1)^2 - 2)^3

Solution

Let's evaluate the given expression step-by-step. The expression is:

3(4)((1)22)3-3 \cdot (-4) - \left( \left( -1 \right)^2 - 2 \right)^3

  1. Calculate (1)2(-1)^2: (1)2=1(-1)^2 = 1

  2. Subtract 2 from (1)2(-1)^2: 12=11 - 2 = -1

  3. Cube 1-1: (1)3=1(-1)^3 = -1

  4. Calculate 3(4)-3 \cdot (-4): 3(4)=12-3 \cdot (-4) = 12

  5. Final calculation: 12(1)=12+1=1312 - (-1) = 12 + 1 = 13

So, the evaluated result is:

1313
