if you multiply sin x times -sinx does that give you -(sin^2(x)) read as negative sine squared x
-
Yes.
-sin(x) = (-1) * sin(x)
sin(x) * sin(x) * (-1) =
sin^2(x) * (-1) =
-sin^2(x)
-sin(x) = (-1) * sin(x)
sin(x) * sin(x) * (-1) =
sin^2(x) * (-1) =
-sin^2(x)

I had the same exact question yesterday hahaha. I got negative sin x. It cant be sin squared x because sin x and -sin x are not the same value.
Its like saying -3 times 3 is -9^2
Its like saying -3 times 3 is -9^2

As far as I know, it would be read "negative sine squared 'of' x" Otherwise, I think it's true. Although I find the parentheses unnecessary and would write it: -sin^2x

yes.
