yes, it is.

negative times a negative is a positive

negative times a positive is a negative

but if ur using a graphing calculator dont type a negative number to a power

i.e. -2 squared

because it will give u a negative number because it reads it as -1 times 2 squared

You are right. When multiplying 2 numbers, like signs give a positive answer, and unlike signs give a negative answer.

yup tour right, when multiplying a negative by a positive you always forget about the neagtive sign and then multiply your numbers, then put a negative sign before that! 🙂 good job!
