It  is given that   
                                B = -A-1BA
           now, pre-multiplying by A on both sides, we will get
                                 AB = -BA
                                AB+BA = 0.........................(1)
Now coming to the problem:
(A+B)2=(A+B)*(A+B)  =  A2+B2+AB+BA.....................(2)
from (1) and (2), we get
(A+B)2=(A+B)*(A+B)

( A+B)2=A2+B2 as AB+BA =0 {from (1)}
