If you have a 8 to the -1 power times 8 to the -2 power would you get a positive?

No. The signs of the exponents don't affect the add, subtract, multiply, or divide operations.
( 8-1 ) x ( 8-2 ) = ( 1/8 ) x ( 1/82 ) = ( 1/8 ) x ( 1/64 ) = 1/512 = 0.00195 (rounded)
Another way to do it:
( 8-1 ) x ( 8-2 ) = ( 8-3 ) = ( 1/83 ) = 1/512

What is the meaning of a power of ten with a positive or negative exponent?
10n where n is positive is 10*10*10... n times [or 1 followed by n zeros] 10-n where n is positive is 1/10n = 1/(10*10*10...) n times [or 0.0...01 where there are n-1 zeros between the decimal point and the 1]
What is the positive number to the negative power?
It is a positive reciprocal. x-a = 1/xa or equivalently, (1/x)a
Negative 100 times what equals positive 100?
Negative 100 times negative 1 equals to positive 100.
What is any number to the 0 power?
the number, like 5 to the 0 power would be 1, because any number that is put to the power of another number, that is positive, cannot go below 1. (2)0
What is 1 to power of 10?
' 1 ' raised to any power = 1 .The power can be a whole number, a fraction, a decimal,positive, or negative, rational or irrational.
What is negative one to the power of 4 equal?
-1 to the power of four equals -1 times -1 times -1 times -1. -1 times -1 equals 1 (since a negative times a negative equals a positive). (1 to the power of 2) 1 times -1 equals -1 (since a negative times a positive equals a negative). (1 to the power of 3) -1 times -1 equals 1. (1 to the power of 4)
What is the value of minus of any number to the power of zero?
Any number (except zero) to the zero power is 1. -1 If it was positive anything it would be 1. Anything positive to the power -0 = 1 Anything negative to the power -0 = -1
Is 0.00036 the same as 3.6 times ten to the fourth power?
No it is ten to the negative fourth power. If the number is greater than 1 it is to a positive power, if the number is smaller thann 1 it is to a negative power.
What is the answer to X to the negative fifth power?
x-5 power = 1 over x to the positive 5th power which would look like this: 1 ---- x5
What is one to the fourth power?
One to any power is still one. If the power is positive, you have 1 times itself over and over again, so it does not change. If the power is zero, the answer is always one, no matter the number. If the power is negative, you find the reciprocal of the expression and make the power positive. If the base of the exponential expression is 1, it is always one.
What is the meaning of a power of ten with a positive or negative exponent?
10n where n is positive is 10*10*10... n times [or 1 followed by n zeros] 10-n where n is positive is 1/10n = 1/(10*10*10...) n times [or 0.0...01 where there are n-1 zeros between the decimal point and the 1]
What is -6 to the second power?
6 to the -2nd power = 1/366-2 = 1/62 = 1/36
What is 6 to the negative second power?
To get your answer, you'd first take negative 6 times itself. That would give you positive 36. So negative 6 to the second power would be 36. But you're not raising it to the second power, you're raising it to the negative power. That means take 1 over it. So instead of 36, your answer would be the inverse, which means 1/36.
What is Positive in brackets positive 3 to the power of negative 1?
+[+3]^-1 = 1/3 or .3333
What is 3 to the power of 1 multiplied by 3 to the power of minus 2 expressed in positive indices?
First of all, 31 is 3. Now 3-2 is 1/32, which is 1/9. So the answer is 3/9, or 1/3. If by positive indices you mean positive exponents, that would be 1/31, because 1 plus -2 is -1, so you get 3-1 which is 1/31.
Is -1 raised to the power of 100 negative or positive?
The answer is negative (-1 raised to the power of 100 = -1)
What is the positive number to the negative power?
It is a positive reciprocal. x-a = 1/xa or equivalently, (1/x)a
