Q. Evaluate.

\newline

(-1)^{2}=

Identify Base and Exponent: Identify the base and the exponent. $\newline$ In the expression $(-1)^2$ , $-1$ is the base raised to the exponent $2$ . $\newline$ Base: $-1$ $\newline$ Exponent: $2$
Choose Expanded Form: Choose the expanded form of $(-1)^2$ . The base is $-1$ and the exponent is $2$ . So, $(-1)^2$ means $-1$ is multiplied by itself $2$ times. Expanded Form of $(-1)^2$ : $(-1) \times (-1)$
Multiply to Simplify: $(-1)^2 = (-1) \times (-1)$ $\newline$ Multiply to write in simplest form. $\newline$ $(-1)^2$ $\newline$ $= (-1) \times (-1)$ $\newline$ $= 1$ $\newline$ The simplest form of $(-1)^2$ is $1$ .
