Question

difference between (-5)^2 and -5^2?

Answer 1

There isnone.

Answer 2

Are you sure there is a diff. Cause if there is then it has to be the fact that (-5)^2 has the negative in it too so the negative sign gets squared too

Answer 3

Making it positive

Answer 4

well on my worksheet, there is a problem for those two.

And i thought that (-5)^2 would be -5 x -5=25

and that -5^2= -1(5^2)=-1(25)=-25
