Simplify the expression. (-5)^3 (^=squared) A. 125 B. -15 C. 25 D. -125

Since the negative sign is included within the parenthesis, we will have to include it when we do the operation. -5*-5*-5 = -125 Remember: If the number of negative signs is odd in a multiplication equation, then the answer will be negative. And if it is even, then the answer will be positive.
