The solution is -1

Step-by-step explanation:

(-1)¹⁷×(-1)⁸

Answer 2

As the power of (-1) is 17 in the first one so the sign will be negative as the power of (-1) is odd number.In the second case the power of (-1) is 8 as it is an even number hence,the sign we get was positive.

hence,when we multiply (-1) with 1 the answer is (-1) as (-) ×(+) gives us (-).
