Practice makes perfect

To evaluate the given expression for b=-4, first, we should substitute -4 for b in the given expression.

b^2

b= -4

( -4)^2

Next, we will rewrite this expression. (-4)^2=-4(-4) When multiplying real numbers, the product will be positive if the signs are the same and it will be negative if the signs are different. cc Same Sign & Different Signs (+)(+)=(+) & (+)(-)=(-) (-)(-)=(+) & (-)(+)=(-) In our case both numbers are negative, so the product will be positive.
