Cristian says that when you raise a base number to a power of 3, it is impossible for the number to get smaller. Do you agree or disagree? Justify (prove) your answer.

Respuesta :

Answer: I disagree

Step-by-step explanation:

I disagree with the statement from Cristian. When you raise a base number to a power of 3, it is possible for the number to get smaller.

For example, let's say our base number is negative 2, that is -2. Now let's find the cube of the number. This will be:

= -2^3 = -2 × -2 × -2 = -8

In this example, we can see that -8 is smaller than -2. This shows that the statement by Cristian is not correct.
