Does 2 to the negative power of 2 equal negative 4?
No Actually... x^(-y) is equal to 1/x^y. 2^(-2) is equal to 1/2^2 which is equal to 1/4 or 0.25.
What is nine to the negative second power equal to?
9-2 = 1/92 = 1/81
What is 2 to the 3rd power times 2 to the 2nd power times 2 to the negative 1 power?
2 cubed )2^3) is 8, 2 squared (2^2) is 4, and 2 to the negative 1 power is done by thinking of a fraction. We know that any whole number can be made into a fraction, like 2 is 2/1. Well when we have negative exponents, these are solved by putting those numbers to negative powers into the bottom. So (2^-1)/1 would be changed to 1/(2^1) or 1/2. So if we now multiply these three numbers, we get 16.
What is 2 to the negative 4th power equal?
A negative exponent or power is equivalent to the reciprocal of the positive exponent. 2-4 = 1/24 = 1/16 = 0.0625
What is 2 to the negative 2nd power equal?
the awnser to your question is -8. No, it's One-quarter. 21 = 2, 20 = 1, 2-1 = 1/2, 2-2 = 1/4. Each reduction of 1 in the power gives a result half of the previous term.
What does 2 to the negative 2 power equal?
1/22
Does 2 to the negative power of 2 equal negative 4?
No Actually... x^(-y) is equal to 1/x^y. 2^(-2) is equal to 1/2^2 which is equal to 1/4 or 0.25.
What does x to the power of negative 3 divided by x to the power of negative 1 equal?
3
How do you solve a number to a negative power?
A number to a negative power is equal to One divided by number to its positive power. So, x^-2 is equal to 1/x2.
Does 2 to the negATIVE 3RD Power equal?
1/8 or .125
Does 2 to the negative 2 power equal negative 4?
yes ma'am ADDED: The above is wrong. 2^-2 means 1/2^2 or 1/4 -2^2 can equal - 4
What does 2 to the negative power of 3 equal?
1/9 = 0.11111...
What is 2 to the negative one power?
2 to the power of negative one is equal to 0.5
What is nine to the negative second power equal to?
9-2 = 1/92 = 1/81
10 to the power of negative 2 equals?
10-2 is defined as 1 / 102, which is equal to 1/100.
What does 5 to negative 2 power equal?
it equals 1/25, or 0.04. A number to a negative power is the reciprocal of the number to that same positive power. x^(-y) = 1/(x^y)
Does one half to the negative power of 2 equal 4?
Yes. (1/2)-2 = (2-1)-2 = 2(-1)*(-2) = 22 = 4
