Question

find the value of y squared when y is -9

Answer 1

Answer:

81

Step-by-step explanation:

-9^2, or -9 times -9 equals 81, the negatives cancel each other out

Answer 2

Your answer would be 81.

The calculation the question is asking us to do is y², but substitute in y for -9. This gives us (-9)². We know that 9² = 81, but (-9)² also equals 81 because when you multiply 2 negative numbers together, the negative sign cancels out.

I hope this helps!
