-32 this is like saying (-3)(-3) and a double negative is positive
-34 this is like saying (-3)(-3)(-3)(-3) since there is two double negatives it is still positive
-36 this is like saying (-3)(-3)(-3)(-3)(-3)(-3) since there is three double negatives it is still positive
-38 this is like saying (-3)(-3)(-3)(-3)(-3)(-3)(-3)(-3) since there is four double negatives it is still positive
This can apply for any negative integer.

What does a negative number times a postive number equal?
That depends on which number is greater. ex: (9)+(-4)= +5 -- because the 9 is a larger number. Also, the use of a number line will really help. ...-5 _-4_ -3_ -2_ -1_ 0_ 1_ 2_ 3_ 4_ 5... just start on one of the numbers and then travel to the right (if the other number is positive) , or the left ( if the other number is negative) and you will land on your answer. keep in mind that 5+(-2)= 3 is the same as 5-2= 3 Hope this helps...and if you were asking "Is a positive number TIMES a negative number negative?", the answer is yes.
Why does a negative integer raised to an even power always result in a positive integer?
The multiplication rule of thumb always states that a negative number times a negative number results in a positive number. Since an even number is always divisible by two, any value raised to an even integer power will result in a positive number. However, a basic proof is presented as follows: (-A) * (-A) = A^2 ((-A) * (-A)) ^ 2 = ((-A * -A) * (-A * -A)) = A^2 * A^2 = A ^ 4 ...
