I think it would be a negative answer because if you do it that many times and it is odd number it is most likely to be a negative answer than a positive answer.

If you multiply a negative by another negative an even number of times, it will be even, but if it is done an odd number of times, like in your example, the result will be an odd number.

How would you explain to a seventh grader the difference between the domains of an odd root radical function and an even root radical function?

To start with, when you multiply an even number of negative numbers, the answer is positive. When you multiply an odd number of negative numbers, the answer is negative. When you multiply any number of positive numbers, the answer is always positive. For positive numbers, the value of a power is always positive. For negative numbers, the value of an odd power is negative, and the value of an even power is positive. Finding roots is the inverse of taking powers, so that an odd-root function can be evaluated for any value of x. An even-root function, however, cannot be evaluated when the value of x is negative, since an even power can never result in a negative answer. The domain of an odd root function is all real numbers; the domain of an even root function is the non-negative real numbers.

Why is it impossible to get a negative answer when you square any number?

V kno that- x- is +. Now when u sqare a negative no it means occouring 2 times and cancel out each other. For example- -2 x -2=4 ============================ (a second answer.) Every real number is either negative, positive or zero. When you square a number, you multiply it by itself, so if you square a negative number, you are multiplying a negative by a negative which gives a positive. If you square a positive, you multiply a positive by a positive and get a positive. If you square 0 , get 0. Therefore, in no case is the answer negative. ( It is harder to explain why a negative times a negative is positive.)
