when you have an exponent to an exponent. You multiply the exponent.
(-x^2)
= (-1 * x^2)^3
= (-1)^3 * x^6
= -x^6

To simplify this, simply you have to multiply the powers as follows:
(-X)^(2*3) = -X^6

(-x^2)^3 = -x^2 * -x^2 * -x^2 = -x^6
Remember when the outer exponent is odd, the answer's sign is the same as the inside.
When the outer exponent is even, the answer's sign is always positive.

Remember these rules for exponents:
(ab)^c = (a^b)(a^c)
(a^b)^c = a^(bc)
So here we have:
(-x^2)^3
(-1 * x^2)^3
(-1)^3 (x^2)^3
- x^6
