Question

Write and exponent . (-4)(-4)

Answer 1

(-4)(-4) = (-4)² = 4²

Answer 2

`(-4)^2`

Explanation:

We have been given an expression
`(-4)(-4)`. We are asked to write our given expression as an exponent.

We know that
`a\cdot a=a^2`. Similarly, our given expression would be:

`(-4)\cdot (-4)=(-4)^2`

Therefore, our expression as an exponent would be
`(-4)^2`.
