-3^2= -(3)^2
The exponent of 2 only applies to the number 3. -(3)^2 should equal -9. This is true because according to the order of operations, exponents should be evaluated before multiplication. The negative sign here represents -1* 3^2.
If you want to find -3 to the power of 2 it must be written (-3)^2.
The answer would be C. you know this because it can’t be A or B because they are positive and D is over -1 which is more than -1/6.
sorry if this is confusing but yeah
