Answer 2

Answer:

Hence the square of -1 is 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the information given in the above question,

The given value is -1.

We have to find the square of given value,

As we know that squaring of a number is to multiply the number by itself,

Given -1,

Squaring the above term we get,

$=-1^{2} \\=(-1)\times (-1)$

Multiply -1 into -1 we get, 1

When we multiply two product of -ve sign we get +ve, as (- x -) output will be +ve, also squaring of -ve number but output will be in +ve,

$=100$

Hence the square of -1 is 1.
