The opposite of a square root can be expressed as a square. Thus, to write \(-2 \times \sqrt{3}\) in terms of its opposite (i.e., squaring it), you would have:
\[
(-2 \times \sqrt{3})^2
\]
Doing the calculation, we get:
\[
(-2)^2 \times (\sqrt{3})^2 = 4 \times 3 = 12
\]
So, the expression \(-2 \times \sqrt{3}\) can be represented as the square of the product, which equals 12.
