Question:
What is \({(-5)^2}\)?
A
\(25\)
explanation
When you raise a negative number to an even power, such as (-5)^2, the result is always positive. In this case, (-5)^2 is calculated by multiplying -5 by itself: (-5) × (-5) = 25. The negative sign is eliminated due to the even exponent, resulting in a positive value. So, (-5)^2 equals 25.
