You can't square a number and get a negative result unless you go into the world of imaginary numbers: i is the sqrt of -1 so sqrt, for example -5, = i root 5.
No - it results in a negative number.

Negative 5 cubed equals -125. This is calculated by multiplying -5 by itself three times: (-5 \times -5 \times -5 = -125). The negative sign remains because an odd number of negative factors results in a negative product.
It is the negative of the value of the number multiplied by itself two times (not three times - as most of us are incorrectly taught).
Three times negative one equals negative three. In mathematical terms, ( 3 \times (-1) = -3 ). This is because multiplying a positive number by a negative number results in a negative product.
Any number multiplied by one is itself. Therefore, negative three times one is negative three.
A perfect square is an integer (whole number) times itself. E.g. 3*3 = 9, or -4*-4 = 16. A negative number times a negative number is a positive number. This means a negative number times itself would be positive. It also holds true for all squares, not just perfect squares. E.g., -1.3 * -1.3 = 1.69 (which is positive).
This is because anything squared is always positive. For example: 1 times 1= 1 and (-1) times (-1)= 1. The only number that when squared will give you a negative number are irrational, such as i. i is equal to the square root of (-1).
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.
Yes. A number times itself results in a perfect square. Perfect squares are always positive, since 4 x 4 and -4 x -4 will give the same result, 16. Since no number exists that can multiply by itself and create a negative number, the square roots of negative numbers are called imaginary.
A negative number times a positive number will give you a negative product.A negative number times a positive number will give you a negative product.A negative number times a positive number will give you a negative product.A negative number times a positive number will give you a negative product.
Negative one times negative twelve equals positive twelve. This is because multiplying two negative numbers results in a positive number. Therefore, -1 × -12 = 12.
