(-a-b)^2 = (-a)^2 + (-b)^2 + 2* (-a )*(-b)
the square of a negative value is positive
and also negative value multiplied by negative value is positive
therefore
(-a-b)^2 = a^2 +b^2 +2ab
it is the same expansion for (a+b)^2
in other words, we can take the negative sign outside the bracket
from both a and b.( as negative is common )
which change into postive due to the square
