Question

Please help me out :( algebra II

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

so it's a little hard to tell if they mean

$(-x)^{2}$ or $-1 * x^{2}$  

for for answer D  but i'll guess that they mean the latter.... also for B... it's often said... incorrectly that you can't take the square of a negative number.. but that's not exactly true.   b/c  $\sqrt{-1}$ =  i  in the  imaginary  number world.  soooo that said... I think they are assuming that you don't know you could do that.. even thou.. now you do :D   but.. B looks like the best choice
