Evaluate -(-1)^80: Double Negative with Exponent Problem

To solve this problem, we'll evaluate the expression $-(-1)^{80}$.

• Step 1: Evaluate $(-1)^{80}$.

Since the exponent 80 is an even number, by applying the rule for negative powers, $(-1)^{80} = 1$.

• Step 2: Apply the negation.

The expression is $-(-1)^{80}$, which simplifies to $-1$, because negating 1 results in $-1$.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $-1$.
