(-1)(-1)=1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

(-i)^2 = -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if it had a parenthesis i.e. (-1)^2 it would be 1 but because its just -1^2 it's still -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-i^2 but not -1^2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok this is the way it 6x(y^2z) if x=1/2, y=-1, z=2

OpenStudy (anonymous):
