Why is -2 with an exponent of 6 in brackets negative?

-2^6=+64. If your are getting -64, then there is a mistake in your calculator.

What this sounds like is this: -(26)

 

In that case it would end up being -64 as shown below.

 

-(2^6)

 

-(2*2*2*2*2*2)

 

-(4*4*4)

 

-(16*4)

 

-(64)

 

-64

- (2^6) DOES equal - 64

(-2^6)   equals  + 64
