2 The value of -4 is _____.

OpenStudy (peterg2001):

its not -8

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does it look like this? \[-4^{2}\]

OpenStudy (peterg2001):

@M0j0jojo yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay what that means is -4 is being multiplied by itself twice. so -4*-4=?

OpenStudy (peterg2001):

-16?

geerky42 (geerky42):

Be careful, \(-4^2\neq(-4)^2\) Since \(-4^2=-(4^2)\)

geerky42 (geerky42):

Yeah I would say -16

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeh you are right
