What is the value of (-3)^2? Help? Thank you in advance! :D

OpenStudy (kenialove):

-3 x -3 = 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The exponent implies the amount of times it's being multiplied by itself, so \[(-3)^2 = (-3)(-3)\]

OpenStudy (kenialove):

Yes and also don't forget the rule about how negative times negative equals positive
