Answer
$-32$
Work Step by Step
RECALL:
The order of operations follows the PEMDAS rule.
First Priority: P - Parentheses
Second Priority: E - Exponents
Third Priority: M/D - Multiplication or division, whichever comes first from the left
Fourth Priority: A/S - Addition or subtraction, whichever comes first from the left
Simplify within the parentheses to obtain:
$=(-2)^2(-2)^3$
Apply the exponents to obtain:
$=[-2(-2)] \cdot [-2(-2)(-2)]$
Multiply two numbers at a time to obtain:
$\\=4 \cdot (4)(-2))
\\=4 \cdot (-8)
\\=-32$
