Question

Evaluate A2 for A = -4

Answer 1

Hello there!

Evaluate a²  for a = -4

The first step we need to do is replace a by -4

So we have (-4)²

Now what you have realize is that we need to multiply -4 by itself twice.

So it should looks like this:

-4 * -4

The rules says that when we have minus * minus, the answer is positive.

So we have -4 * -4 = 16

Answer: 16
