(- 1)^{2} + 4 (- 1) - 3

- 6

Solution steps

(- 1)^{2} + 4 (- 1) - 3

Follow the PEMDAS order of operations

Calculate exponents

(- 1)^{2} : 1

(- 1)^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(- a)^{n} = a^{n},

n

is even

(- 1)^{2} = 1^{2} = 1

= 1

= 1 + 4 (- 1) - 3

Multiply and divide (left to right)

4 (- 1) : - 4

4 (- 1)

Apply rule

a \cdot (- b) = - a \cdot b

4 (- 1) = - 4 \cdot 1 = - 4

= - 4

= 1 - 4 - 3

Add and subtract (left to right)

1 - 4 - 3 : - 6

1 - 4 - 3

1 - 4 = - 3

= - 3 - 3

- 3 - 3 = - 6

= - 6

= - 6
