32 is an even number so if a negative number is multiplied by itself an even number of time the answer is positive, so it's the same as 3^32
like -5 times -5 = 25

(-3)^32 = [(-3) ^4]^8
= 81^8 = [(81)^2]^4
= 6561^4 = (43,046,721)^2
=1.85302019X10^15
My calculator cannot hold the necessary # of digits.
But the answer is definitely positive and not negative as suggested by a previous answer.
