Evaluate a^2(-b^2) for a = 4 and b = -5. a. -26 b. -9 c. 41

A^2(-B^2) for A = 4 and B = -5


A^2(-B^2) =

= 4^2 * [-(-5)^2]

= 16 * (-25)

= -400

The correct answer to the question you asked is not in the choices.

Maybe you copied it incorrectly, and you meant

A^2-B^2 for A = 4 and B = -5,


in which case it's


4^5 - 5^2 = 16 - 25 = -9
