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
