That calculator output is incorrect.

 

-(50x)^2=-2500x^2    !!!

 

(-50x)^2 = +2500x^2

 

But the actual question is   -50x^2     and this cannot be simplified.

to get -50x^2, you must square the whole equation. Therefore, it would then be -50*-50=2500. x^2= x^2. The new equation is now 2500*(x^2).

( -50x)² = 2500 x²
