Solution Steps

Step 1: Understand the expression

The expression given is \((-2)^{2}\). This means we need to raise \(-2\) to the power of \(2\).

Step 2: Apply the exponent

When a negative number is raised to an even power, the result is positive. Therefore: \[ (-2)^{2} = (-2) \times (-2) = 4 \]
