(-3)^2 would be -9 but -3^2 would be 9. Correct?

But the -3 is in parentheses

it's the exact other way around (-3)^2 is 9 -3^2 is -9

A negative in a parentheses is positive as long as the exponent is even. If it's odd, it's negative

(-3)^2 is 9 because it's still a negative times a negative. Negative x Negative = Positive always.

It's 9 (-3)^2 is -3*-3 -3^2 is -9 because it can be written -(3^2)

-3^2 is actually -1 * 3^2 exponents then multiplication -1 * 9 -9

"um no, -3^2 is STILL 9" this is literally your exact quote of what you said above
