simplify x^2*(-x^2)

Solution

simplify

x^{2} \cdot (- x^{2})

Solution

- x^{4}

Solution steps

x^{2} (- x^{2})

Apply rule:

a (- b) = - ab

x^{2} (- x^{2}) = - x^{2} x^{2}

= - x^{2} x^{2}

Apply exponent rule:

a^{b} \cdot a^{c} = a^{b + c}

x^{2} x^{2} = x^{2 + 2}

= - x^{2 + 2}

Add the numbers:

2 + 2 = 4

= - x^{4}
