(2-1)^2=(1-2)^2

1 and -1

#

or rather assuming we had b-a then (a-b)^2 = (-1(b-a))^2 then distribute the exponent to get (-1)^2(b-a)^2

x-1=-1+x=-(1-x)=1-x

basically 1 - x and x - 1 are the same thing if both are positive like |5 - 7| = |7 - 5|

#

-2 and 2 are both the same except one is negative and one is positive

#

when squaring they both become positive hence they both are the same thing
