If the letter x is multiplied by -x , is the answer -x^2? ?

Question

if not what is it ?

Answer 1

easy way is to make that x into a number and test it out on calculator, lets make x 3 for example so 3 times -3 is -9 and -3 to the power of 2 is indeed -9  

Answer 2

yes

note that -x^2 is equal to -(x^2)

-x^2 is not equal to (-x)^2

Answer 3

YES. x mult by -x is -x^2

Answer 4

You are right.

Answer 5

that is the answer  -1*x*x=-1*x^2=-x^2

Answer 6

we can take x as 1x and - x as (-1)x

so, x * (- x ) means 1x * (- 1)x = 1*(-1)*x^2 = - x^2

Hope this help u :)

Good luck !!!!
