Q. Use multiplication to expand the expression below. Then compute.

\newline

(-2)^{2}

\newline

Press the

\times

button or type the * symbol on your keyboard to represent multiplication.

\newline

Expanded form:

\newline

Answer:

Write Exponent Meaning: We are given the expression $(-2)^{2}$ . To expand this expression, we need to write out what the exponent means. An exponent of $2$ means that the base, which is $-2$ in this case, is multiplied by itself once. $\newline$ Expanded form: $(-2) \times (-2)$
Compute Expanded Expression: Now we compute the value of the expanded expression. Multiplying $-2$ by itself gives us: $\newline$ $(-2) \times (-2) = 4$
Evaluate Expanded Expression: We have expanded the expression and computed its value. The expanded form is $(-2) \times (-2)$ and the computed value is $4$ .
