a negative exponent simply indicates that the term is the reciprocal of the given value. x to the power of negative 2 is 1/x^2
2
Expressed as a decimal fraction, 6.7 x 10-2 = 0.067
Yes, a fraction can be negative, e.g., -4/3, -2/5, etc.
Expressed as a proper fraction in its simplest form, -2-6 = -1/64 or minus one sixty-fourth. Expressed as a decimal, this is equal to -0.015625.
1/5
(712)/2, (1424)/4
2 to the negative 6th power as a fraction = 1/64
You cannot because -2 is an integer and not a fraction. However, if you must, it can be expressed in rational form as -2/1 which cannot be simplified.
When something is to the negative first power, you find the inverse of it - which means you flip the fraction. (1/2)^-1=2/1 2
it is a positive fraction 5^-2=1 over 5^2 answer is 1 over 25
n to the -2 power is improper, to get rid of the negative, you flip it so, n to the -2 would be 1 /n to the 2
Yes. eg: a fraction -4/2 = -2 an integer
negative -1/2+-1/2 = -1
Take the reciprocal of the fraction (flip it over). Then change the power to its positive equivalent.So, for example, (2/5)^-3 = (5/2)^3 = 125/8.
You put the negative to the side, before the fraction, or you put the negative in the numerator, so it's a negative fraction. It can look like this: -1/2 or the negative can be on the side of the fraction
both negatives will be canceled and answer will be positive
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.
