Question

PLEASE HELP ASAP!!!! Explain the difference between (-10)^2 and -10^2. What are the values of each expression?

Answer 1

The first expression is
`(-10)^(2)`

which is equal to
`(-1*10)^(2)`

which is equal to
`(-1)^(2)*(10)^(2)`

which is equal to
`1* 100`=100

The second expression is equal to
`-1*(10)^(2)`

which is equal to
`-1* 100`=-100

therefore both the values are different.Hope this helps
