Answer 1

It creates a positive integer.

Integers are whole number which could be negative or positive. Examples are; 2, 3, -1, -7 -5 etc.

Whenever an integer is squared, a positive integer is created. For example, let us consider integers; 3, 4, -3 and -4.

`(3)^(2)` = 3 × 3 = 9

`(-3)^(2)` = -3 × -3 = 9

Also,

`(4)^(2)` = 4 × 4 = 16

`(-4)^(2)` = -4 × -4 = 16

Therefore, the square of an integer creates a positive integer.
