Nigger Logic

Some nigger over twitter tried to tell me that -5^2 is -25. It is obviously 25 but a bunch of others are agreeing with him. Am I wrong Sup Forums?

They probably googled it and googles calculator automatically does -(5^2), tell them to type (-5)^2

Both answers are actually acceptable ya fucking dingus

i saw that but it changes the order of operations. even then its not hard to figure out that -5 x -5 is 25

thanks common core

can you explain?

>turning middle school algebra into racial identity politics

This is stupid, guys. Don't be like this. Stay focused on more important things that benefit you and the race.

Ask him what the square root of -25 is then

the negative operator isn't implied to be put on the 5 or the entire equation

(-5)^2 = 25

-(5^2) = -25

not that i expect most of the 47% to actually understand why theyre right

Both are correct, because the notation is ambiguous.
There's a reason people argue about this shit.

5 times i

-5 x -5 is 25.
-5 to the power of 2 means -5 times itself

You're a nigger.

-5^2 can be interpreted as -(5^2) or (-5)^2, you need to add the parentheses to actually show what youre trying to do

-5^2=-25
(-5)^2=25

>this shit is Sup Forums related because he used the word nigger
I don't get it

-5 x 5 or -5 x -5 the operation gives two answers but the government wants you to only accept the positive one

...

when doing such operations, the standard of -5^2 is to assume -(5^2) because exponents come before multiplying

-(5^2) is the same as -1 * (5^2)

-x^2=x^2

This

White people know it isn't. Because everyone knows negative values multiplied together result in different effects. You're basically saying, "Take the result and make it negative."

They were not right.
The question is -5^2 not -(5^2)

>OP getting out smarted by niggers
>come crying to Sup Forums for help

you either have
-52 = -5 * -5 = 25
or
-1*52= -1 * (5 * 5) = -25
but it's the first one...

thats what I said. But they kept trying to push the googled answer

get this shit off pol

sage

Not a real number

I was right in this situation
Maybe you're the nigger
