simplify sqrt(-4)^2

Solution

simplify

- 4^{2}

Solution

- 4

Solution steps

(- 4)^{2}

- 4 = 2 i

= (2 i)^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

(a \cdot b)^{n} = a^{n} b^{n}

(2 i)^{2} = 2^{2} i^{2}

= 2^{2} i^{2}

2^{2} = 4

= 4 i^{2}

Apply imaginary number rule:

i^{2} = - 1

= 4 (- 1)

Multiply the numbers:

4 (- 1) = - 4

= - 4
