Sign Conventions in Logistics Volume Calculations

To verify the trainee's understanding of foundational arithmetic principles, identify and state the two mathematical rules that explain why:

  1. The intermediate evaluation of the cubed term c3c^3 results in a negative value (βˆ’18-\frac{1}{8}) when c=βˆ’12c = -\frac{1}{2}.
  2. The final calculated volume adjustment factor is positive, even though both input variables (cc and dd) are negative numbers.
