Q.

-3

^{2}

Understand Problem and Order: Understand the problem and the order of operations. $\newline$ The problem asks us to find the value of $-3^2$ . According to the order of operations, exponents are calculated before considering the sign in front of the number. This means we first square the number $3$ , and then apply the negative sign.
Calculate Square of $3$ : Calculate the square of $3$ . $3^2 = 3 \times 3 = 9$
Apply Negative Sign: Apply the negative sign to the result. $\newline$ Since the negative sign is outside of the exponent, it affects the result after squaring. Therefore, $-3^2 = -9$ .
