Theorem neg1sqe1

Description: -u 1 squared is 1. (Contributed by David A. Wheeler, 8-Dec-2018)

Ref Expression
Assertion neg1sqe1 ( - 1 ↑ 2 ) = 1

Proof

Step Hyp Ref Expression
1 ax-1cn 1 ∈ ℂ
2 sqneg ( 1 ∈ ℂ → ( - 1 ↑ 2 ) = ( 1 ↑ 2 ) )
3 1 2 ax-mp ( - 1 ↑ 2 ) = ( 1 ↑ 2 )
4 sq1 ( 1 ↑ 2 ) = 1
5 3 4 eqtri ( - 1 ↑ 2 ) = 1
