Then the answer becomes 4, the fact that you are squaring a negative number makes the result positive.
negative 2
(-4)^2 - ( - 2)^2 = Factor ((-4) + (-2))((-4) - (-2)) = (-4 -2)(-4 + 2) = (-6)(-2) = (+12) Or more simply 16 - 4 = (+12)
One over A squared or A to the negative 2.
It depends if the negative is being squared also. If you have (-3)^2 then it = 9 If you have -(3)^2 then it = -9
2
x is negative 1x is negative 2
Negative 11
you first solve the inside of the bracket and then do the inside answer with the outside numbers.
the answer is .5 because you do bo that means bottom outside so you divide 2 into 1 2 is outside of the bracket and 1 is inside the bracket and then your answer .5
4
(-7)2
If the negative sign is inside the brackets, for example: [-2(9)] it is a negative two and you times that by positive nine. But if it were -[2(9)] than you times two by nine and get eighteen, THEN the eighteen takes on the negative. So basically, if the negative sign is inside the bracket, then it will only affect the number it is closest to, but if it is outside the brackets, it affects all over the numbers inside of it.
