-62-(-4)^2
First square the term, we know that a negative squared makes a positive.
So (-4)^2 = 16
Now combine terms
16 - 62 = -46

-4^2 is the same as -4x-4, a minus times a minus is a +, so -4^2 is 16.
Therefore -62 - 16 = -78.
hope this makes sense

(-4) to the power of 2 means = -4 x -4 = a negative cancels out with another negative, so the result of (-4)^2 is positive.
So -4 x -4 = 16
Hence -62 + 16 = -46
