Q. Use an exponent to condense the expression below. Then compute.−1×−1Type the base, then use the ab button or use the ∧ symbol on your keyboard for the exponent.Condensed form:Answer:
Recognize multiplication as exponent: To condense the expression −1×−1 using an exponent, we need to recognize that we are multiplying the number −1 by itself one time. This can be represented as −1 raised to the power of 2.Condensed form: (−1)2
Compute value of (−1)2: Now, let's compute the value of (−1)2. When a negative number is raised to an even exponent, the result is positive. Therefore, (−1)2 equals 1.Answer: 1
