Because of the parenthesis.
The power operation is executed before the minus operation, so
-3.1175^0.5
is strictly equivalent to :
-(3.1175^0.5)
which is not the same as
(-3.1175)^0.5

The power operator ^ has higher precedence than the unary minus operator - but parentheses () have higher precedence than either ^ or -.
