Answer:

This is not possible

Step-by-step explanation:

The only way you get this is if you plug it into the calculator without placing parenthesis around -4

For example:

-4^2 = -16 while (-4)^2= 16

When doing math it is common knowledge that when two negative numbers are multiplied together the negative sign will cancel out and turn into a positive product.

Also -4*-4 is the same as -4^2 just written differently
