What is -4^2?
#14
Mudkip Wrote:-4 x -4 = 16

The TS never put brackets around the -4, therefore it's not negative 4.

-4^2 = (-1)(4^2) = (-1)(16) = -16

(-4)^2 = (-4)(-4) = 16

The way is it writte (WITHOUT ANY BRACKETS), makes the result to be negative 16, if there are brackets like this (-4) then the result is 16 but this is not the case.
