Do you guys like puzzle games?

the answer is (5^2)-(-5^2), why do I have to reduce it?

-5^2 is -25
order of operations

Its 50 you fucking clods.

f(m)pbp

Do you mean (-5)^2 or -(5^2)?

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

how about we post real thinking man games?

Wolfram Alpha says it's 50. Thread over. Let's pack it up, boys.

haha i love these stupid fucking threads

50
all other answers are retarded.

????
-5^2 is -25
5^2 = 25
then the negative sign applies
cmon this is basic shit

rook to d4

my uncle works for wolfram and he says its 0

>-5^2 is -25
wrong
it would have to be (-5)^2 to be -25

Where are you getting those numbers? its 1521 - 1 - 521, the answer is 999, a god tier puzzle game

yes, PEMDAS - everything in the parentheses are done first, meaning you do everything in there first and then work on everything else on the outside. (-5^2) is 25 before you even do anything having to do with subtraction

(5^2) - (-5^2)
(25) - (-25)
25 + 25
it's 50 you shit niggers, subtracting a negative is the same as addition

Are you retarded?

Thats still 25

underrated

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

It's 0. 5 to the second power is 25, -5 times another negative sums up to a positive, in this case 25, 25 minus 25 is 0.

no it's the opposite

(-5)^2 = (-5) * (-5) = 25
-5^2 = (-1) * (5) * (5) = -25

These threads actually make me mad, it shows me how many fucking people on this board are actual retards. The answer is 0, if you got 0, don't even be proud of yourself because this is something a child should be able to do.
(25)-(25)
It's not (25) - (-5(^2)) like some retards are claiming.

nah

It's been a while, why doesn't distributive property apply to this? Why doesn't the negative sign distribute to the second parentheses set, thus making it a positive (and then making the problem 25 x 25)?

I fucking hate these threads

It's just people jerking off over pemdas when the issue is shitty math syntax. This is why we use parentheses.

i just googled this only to realize n^2 doesn't just mean (n * n) where did i go so wrong

guys please understand that im not good at math and didn't retain anything past the most basic shit

That's explicitly not true. Has to be in parenthesis to include the sign.

Kek

This
No it's not you spaz

-(5^2) = -25
-5^2 = (-5)^2 = 25
This is not up for debate

>people saying -5^2 is -25
holy shit the amount of retards it's amazing

fpbp

Wonderful ambiguous notation
Personally I'd look at it as -(-(5^2))

the only way its ever -25 is if it is written as -(5)^2

wow, Yas Forums is more retarded than I realized...

this is a bait-free thread

-5^2 = -1*5^2

Isn't -(-5^2) functionally the same as -1*(5*5)? Exponents take precedence over multiplication.

(5^2)-(-5^2)
(25)-(-25)
50
For the retards who don't know OoO, the negative before the last five is counted AFTER the exponent, unless it were written ((-5)^2)

wolframalpha.com/input/?i=-5^2

No it's not
-5 is a number, a negative is not an operation

multiply that by negative one, now it's positive, add the other 25, you get 50

The "puzzle" is purposefully made to give a wrong answer when put into a calculator or computer. Cheating gets you nowhere.
The equation uses human error, but gives an un-errored answer

Everyone in this thread need to go back to fucking school

(5^2)-(-5^2)
(25)-(-25)
25+25
50
Remember, even with parentheses, exponents come before negative signs. So it's more like -(5^2) than (-5)^2. Which is the difference between -25 and +25.

I don't understand what everyone is having trouble with.

Yes, but some anons clearly didn't pay attention the day their 4th grade math teacher showed you that -5^2 and (-5)^2 come out different in your calculator

-5^2 is the same as (-1)(5^2) which is different than (-5)^2
it's not ambiguous at all

-5^2 = 25

(25)-(25)=0

No it isn't, if you multiply out the brackets first (as you're supposed to), you get 5^2+5^2, which then gives you 50.

Yas Forums is full of high school dropout nigfags

Look it up inbred its a basic rule. You cant subtract a negative number from a positive.

-5^2 isn't -25 faggot
Go back to school

yes that's right
shouldn't have gotten a social studies degree

Some people learn their order of operations incorrectly.
It's 50.

No, it's not (-5)^2, it's (-1*5^2) which is -25

-5^2 is not -25 you fucking tard.

WHY DO PEOPLE THINK -5^2 IS THE SAME AS (-1*5^2)???
FUCKING RETARDS IT'S NOT

A NEGATIVE NUMBER IS NOT AN OPERATION

>doesn't understand basic maths
>tells other people to go back to school

>Yas Forums can't into maths
Of fucking course. Result is 50 btw.
>25 - (-25)

This

0

Yes it fucking is, you fucking retard.
Literally look it up on any online calculator.
No it's not. It's as much an operation as 5^2. And exponents come before multiplication.
So it's (-1)(5^2).

Because it is you dipshit, its only 25 if it was (-5)^2, which it isn't, it's (-5^2).

Learn how brackets work you low IQ faggot.

its multiplication

No faggot, I actually went to school.

(-5^2) is 25.

Common core ruined a generation of children. There are real teachers telling kids nothing takes precedence but left to right, and when every math book and program says is wrong they just double down.

>I actually went to school.
Clearly a shit one if this is the crap they taught you.

5 * 5 = 25
-5 * -5 = 25
25 - 25 = 0
Anyone that answers different is LITERALLY RETARDED

It's 50 and I'm honestly impressed some of you fell for a mistake people in basic algebra would make.
