Q. Use multiplication to expand the expression below. Then compute.(−6)2Press the × button or type the * symbol on your keyboard to represent multiplication.Expanded form:Answer:
Multiply −6 by itself: To expand the expression (−6)2, we need to multiply −6 by itself because an exponent indicates how many times the base is used as a factor.Calculation: (−6)×(−6)
Result of multiplication: When multiplying two negative numbers, the result is positive. Therefore, the product of −6 and −6 is positive.Calculation: (−6)×(−6)=36
Expanded form and answer: The expanded form of the expression is not typically written out for exponents, but if we were to write it, it would simply be (−6)×(−6).Expanded form: (−6)×(−6)Answer: 36
