${(- 3)}^{6} = 729$ $(-3)^6 = 729$

Explanation:

${(- 3)}^{6}$ $(-3)^6$ means

$(- 3) \times (- 3) \times (- 3) \times (- 3) \times (- 3) \times (- 3)$ $(-3)xx(-3)xx(-3)xx(-3)xx(-3)xx(-3)$
which is not the same as $- 3 \times 6$ $-3 xx 6$ !

Look at the signs first... there are 6 negatives, This will make a positive.

The numbers multiply to give 729.
(Powers get very big (or very small), very quickly.)

${(- 3)}^{6} = 729$ $(-3)^6 = 729$
