    Is it though? Doesn’t it have to be (x)² then? Because -5² = -25 ?

      If you multiply a negative number with a negative number you get a positive number.

        Well that is not debatable, I am talking about the difference between -5² = -25 and (-5)² = 25

          I edited my comment before you posted your comment. You’re right.

          Open desmos. Graph y = x^2. Then graph y = (x)^2. Recognize that both graphs are identical. Realize the flaw in your argument.

        No they’re wrong in mathematics too. -5^2 is -25, but -5^2 is not the same as x^2 where x= -5. No brackets needed on x.

      No, because what you are doing isn’t x^2 with x=-5. It is -x^2 with x=5.
