Exactly! -6 to the power of 2 means "-6 times -6". That's a negative times a negative, and the answer is positive 36.
When a negative number is raised to an even power, the result is always positive. Therefore, (-1)^4 equals 1. This is because multiplying a negative number by itself an even number of times will always result in a positive value.

nope negative plus negative equals a negative -2+(-4)=-6 but negative times negative equals a positive
Negative times negative is positive. Negative 2 times negative 2 equals positive 4.
It equals 0. * * * * * Unless the question is (-x)2 + (+x)2. In that case, the answer is 2x2
negative 2
It depends on the magnitude of the negative and positive values. Equal magnitudes equal zero. -2 + 2 = 0 Larger negative number than positive number equals a negative number. -3 + 2 = -1 Smaller negative number than positive number equals a positive number. -2 + 3 = 1
it equals 1/25, or 0.04. A number to a negative power is the reciprocal of the number to that same positive power. x^(-y) = 1/(x^y)

(-2) * (-3) = +6
positive two whoever wrote positive 2 is wrong and most likely intoxicated or below 10 years old..the answer is really positive 4. 2 times two equals four and negative times negative equals positive..positive 4
