minus-squareSaledovil@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·8 months agoIf you multiply a negative number with a negative number you get a positive number.
minus-squaregigachad@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-28 months agoWell that is not debatable, I am talking about the difference between -5² = -25 and (-5)² = 25

minus-squarereliv3@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·edit-28 months agoOpen desmos. Graph y = x^2. Then graph y = (x)^2. Recognize that both graphs are identical. Realize the flaw in your argument.
minus-squareCharzard4261@programming.devlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·8 months agoNo 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.
