Step 2 :
2.1 Negative number raised to an odd power is negative
To show this we begin with (-7)5 ,a negative number raised to an odd exponent:
(-7)5 can be written as (-7)•(-7)•(-7)•(-7)•(-7)
Now, using the rule that says minus times minus is plus, (-7)5 can be written as (49)•(49)•(-7) which is a negative number.
We showed that (-7)5 is a negative number
Using the same arguments as above, replacing (-7) by any negative number, and replacing the exponent 5 by any odd exponent, we proved which had to be proved
Final result :
-33
——— = -3.37500
