Why is -2 squared - 4?

-6


Why does a calculator say that -6 to the power of 2 equals 36 when negative times negative equals a positive number?

Exactly! -6 to the power of 2 means "-6 times -6". That's a negative times a negative, and the answer is positive 36.


Can a negative number be raised to an odd power?

yes, but the answer will remain negative. for example, (-2)3 is -8 in order to make a negative number positive, it must be raised to an even power, for example (-2)2 = 4

Is a negative to a negative power positive?

No, or more accurately "not necessarily".A negative to any even power is positive. -2, -4, -6 etc. are even, so a negative number raised to any of those powers will be positive.However, a negative number raised to an odd negative power (-1, -3, -5 etc.) will be negative.


What is a negative number to the negative power?

It can be a negative or a positive number depending on the absolute value of the power.e.g.(-4) to the power of -2 gives (1/16) and(-4) to the power of -1 gives (-1/4)

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 ...


What is positive times power that is negative?

When a positive number is raised to a negative power, it results in a positive fraction. Specifically, if ( a ) is a positive number and ( n ) is a positive integer, then ( a^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n} ). This means that the value decreases as the exponent becomes more negative, but the result remains positive. For example, ( 2^{-3} = \frac{1}{2^3} = \frac{1}{8} ).


How do you divide a negative number by a negative number?

A positive number times (or divided by) a negative number gives a negative result.A negative number times (or divided by) a negative number gives a positive result.Thus, for example:8 / (-2) = -4(-8) / (-2) = 4A positive number times (or divided by) a negative number gives a negative result.A negative number times (or divided by) a negative number gives a positive result.Thus, for example:8 / (-2) = -4(-8) / (-2) = 4A positive number times (or divided by) a negative number gives a negative result.A negative number times (or divided by) a negative number gives a positive result.Thus, for example:8 / (-2) = -4(-8) / (-2) = 4A positive number times (or divided by) a negative number gives a negative result.A negative number times (or divided by) a negative number gives a positive result.Thus, for example:8 / (-2) = -4(-8) / (-2) = 4
