Will a negative number to the fifth power be a positive or a negative value explain?
Negative, because 5 is an odd number
When using quotient fractions to a negative power do you flip the base number?
A negative power gives you the reciprocal of the positive power so yes you flip your number.
Will a negative number to the fifth power be a positive or negative value?
The result will be a negative value.
What is a rule for raising a negative number into a power number?
The answer depends on the power number. If, for example, the power number is -0.5, then there is no rule in real numbers.
What is a negative number to the negative power?
It can be a negative or a positive number depending on the absolute value of the power.e.g.(-4) to the power of -2 gives (1/16) and(-4) to the power of -1 gives (-1/4)
A negative number raised to an even power will be positive or negative?
Positive
What is negative 3 to the 2nd power?

Why can't you have a negative argument in a logarithm- Negative two to the third power equals negative eight so why can't the log of base negative two of negative 8 equal three?
some times dams have negitives effects I added the answer below to a link of a Yahoo answer; however, it IS possible to calculate the log of a negative number but you have to work in complex numbers.
Is the number positive if the power is negative?
It does not work that way. A negative power is simply the reciprocal. So that x-a = 1/xa The reciprocal is negative or positive according to whether the number itself is negative or positive. [And, if the number is 0, the reciprocal is not defined.]
Log -3 equals?
There is no answer - it is an error: negative numbers do not have logarithms. The log if a number tells to what power the (positive) base must be raised to get the number. Raising any positive number to any power will never result in a negative number, so it is an error to try and take the log of a negative number.
When a negative number is raised to an even power the result is a positive number?
