Try this
exponent = (-2)^2; % Square of -2
result = Y .^ exponent

Yes, I thought of that also. The wording is ambiguous. What I thought "Y to the square of -2" most likely meant is "Y to the power of the square of -2", because of the word "to" in the phrase, though your guess is also a possible interpretation/guess at what she really meant. Perhaps Liz will re-state the question with more precise language.
