\newline

Answer:

Identify Base and Exponent: Identify the base and the exponent. $\newline$ In $(-2)^3$ , $-2$ is the base raised to the exponent $3$ . $\newline$ Base: $-2$ $\newline$ Exponent: $3$
Choose Expanded Form: Choose the expanded form of $(-2)^3$ $\newline$ $(-2)^3$ means $-2$ is multiplied by itself $3$ times. $\newline$ Expanded Form: $-2 \times -2 \times -2$
Compute Result: Compute the expanded form of $(-2)^3$ $\newline$ $(-2)^3 = -2 \times -2 \times -2$ $\newline$ $= 4 \times -2$ $\newline$ $= -8$
