Evaluate (-a)^2 for a = 5, b = -4, and c = 2

(-A)^2 for A = 5

(-5)^2

=25

Step-by-step explanation:

first, replace A by 5, and maintain the negative to the 5.

multiply (-5)^2.

nb: don't forget to maintain the bracket when multiplying. if you maintain the bracket, you'll get a positive number, but if you don't, you'll get a negative number.

a negative exponent is translated as follows:

so, we have
