Explanation

p*q = p\(^2\) + 2pq - q\(^2\)


when p = -2 and q = -2

p*q = -2\(^2\) + 2(-2)(-2) - (-2)\(^2\)
p*q = 4 + 8 - 4 = 8


when p = -2 and q = -1
p*q = -2\(^2\) + 2(-2)(-1) - (-1)\(^2\)
p*q = 4 + 4 - 1 = 7


when p = -2 and q = 1
p*q = -2\(^2\) + 2(-2)(1) - (1)\(^2\)
p*q = 4 - 4 -1 = -1


when p = -1 and q = -2
p*q = -1\(^2\) + 2(-1)(-2) - (-2)\(^2\)
p*q = 1 + 4 - 4 = 1


when p = -1 and q = -1
p*q = -1\(^2\) + 2(-1)(-1) - (-1)\(^2\)
p*q = 1 + 2 -1 = 2


when p = -1 and q = 2
p*q = -1\(^2\) + 2(-1)(2) - (2)\(^2\)
p*q = 1 - 4 - 4 = -7


when p = 1 and q = -2
p*q = 1\(^2\) + 2(1)(-2) - (-2)\(^2\)
p*q = 1 - 4 - 4 = -7


when p = 1 and q = -1
p*q = 1\(^2\) + 2(1)(-1) - (-1)\(^2\)
p*q = 1 - 2 - 1 = -2


when p = 1 and q = 1
p*q = 1\(^2\) + 2(1)(1) - (1)\(^2\)
p*q = 1 + 2 - 1 = 2


when p = 1 and q = 2
p*q = 1\(^2\) + 2(1)(2) - (2)\(^2\)
p*q = 1 + 4 - 4 = 1


when p = 2 and q = -2
p*q = 2\(^2\) + 2(2)(-2) - (-2)\(^2\)
p*q = 4 - 8 - 4 = -8


when p = 2 and q = -1
p*q = 2\(^2\) + 2(2)(-1) - (-1)\(^2\)
p*q = 4 - 4 - 1 = -1


when p = 2 and q = 1
p*q = 2\(^2\) + 2(2)(1) - (1)\(^2\)
p*q = 4 + 4 - 1 = 7
when p = 2 and q = 2
p*q = 2\(^2\) + 2(2)(2) - (2)\(^2\)
p*q = 4 + 8 - 4 = 8

 

* -2 -1 1 2
-2 8 7 -1 -8
-1 1 2 -2 -7
1 -7 -2 2 1
2 -8 -1 7 8
