i dont think so bcuz i think the first one the answer is +2 and the other one the answer is +2 or -2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thats because squaring a positive or a negative number will result in a positive number.

But when you square a positive or negative number, the final answer is always positive isn't it?

It depends on what is the question. There are questions like for example, finding the time in acceralation function, that negative answers are not desirable.
