​

Answer 1

Answer:

9/4

Step-by-step explanation:

-3/2×(-3/2)

=9/4

Answer 2

$(\frac{ - 3}{2 })^{2} = \frac{( - 3) {}^{2} }{2 {}^{2} } \\ = \frac{( - 3)( - 3)}{2 \times 2 } \\ = \frac{( - )( - )3 \times 3}{2 \times 2 } \\ \frac{( + )9}{4} \\ = \frac{9}{4}$

$( \frac{ - 3}{2} ) {}^{2} = \frac{9}{4}$

Change into decimal if you want

$\frac{9}{4} = 2.25$

Therefore

$( \frac{ - 3}{2} ) {}^{2} = \frac{9}{4} \\ or \\ ( \frac{ - 3}{2} ) {}^{2} = 2.25$
