Question

(-12)-²= ? Pls help :)

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{1}{144}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formatting is a little off on my computer, so please correct me if I am wrong, but your question is $(-12)^{-2}$.

To solve this, we must square the (-12) which means we do -12*-12 and the negative signs cancel out. This equals to 144, but since it is a negative square, we put this in the denominator like so $\frac{1}{144}$.

I hope this helps!
