Sagot :

a) -36 b) 36

1) To simplify those expressions let's expand them to better grasp the result:

[tex]\begin{gathered} -6^2=-1\times6^2=-1\cdot36=-36 \\ \end{gathered}[/tex]

When the minus sign is accompanying the number without parentheses, we can read it as -1 times the power. That's why -6²=-1 * 36 = -36

b) For the second power we can write out the following:

[tex](-6)^2=(-6)\cdot(-6)=36[/tex]

2) Hence, we can state that the answers are -36 and 36
