    What about plain old x = -10?

    -10 ^ 2 = 100
    -10 ^ 3 = -1000
    -10 ^ 5 = -100000

        people being pedantic showoffs doesn’t really register as humor for me, TBH

          That’s true, the OOP is being quite snarky with their comment on a post where someone’s had a genuine basic doubt

      That’s because the explanation was about 10 times as complicated as it needs to be

    What an extremely unnecessary explanation. As a math teacher I would have deducted points for this answer.

      Unless I was in that clas where we had to write mathematical proofs. I HATED those. Sure, you solved the question but write out this complicated reason for why your answer is the correct answer.
