Question 197835: 1. Write the sentence (-x)2 not equal to -x2 in words. In your own words explain why (-x)2 and -x2 are not equivalent. Provide an example to support your explanation. NOTE: I cannot format the math term correctly, the 2 should be in squared format.

Use ^ to indicate raising to a power, as in (-x)^2 <> -x^2
The sentence you want is "In general, squaring the additive inverse of x is not equal to taking the additive inverse of the quantity x squared."
^2 = 4 \neq -(2^2) = -4)
