PLEASE HELP Write the following without the absolute value sign Ia^2I if a<0

Question

Ia^2I if a<0

a^2 is in absolute value

Answer 1

When you square a number, whether it's positive or negative, the square is always positive. That is, a² is positive whether a is positive or negative. Examples:

1² = 1 x 1 = 1

(-1)² = (-1) x (-1) = 1

5² = 5 x 5 = 25

(-5)² = (-5) x (-5) = 25

Since the answer is always positive, you don't need the absolute value signs: |a²| = a².

Answer 2

a²

as a² is zero or positive regardless of the sign of a, the modulus sign is irrelevant here
