Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!! Explain the difference between (-10)^2 and -10^2. What are the values of each expression?

Answer 1

Answer:

The first expression is $(-10)^{2}$

which is equal to $(-1*10)^{2}$

which is equal to $(-1)^{2}*(10)^{2}$

which is equal to $1* 100$=100

The second expression is equal to $-1*(10)^{2}$

which is equal to $-1* 100$=-100

therefore both the values are different.Hope this helps
