2-1 x 2-2 = 2-1 + -2 = 2-3 = 1/8, or one eighth.
9 to negative 2 = 1/9 to plus 2 = 1/81
The value of 3 to the negative power of 2 is 1/9.
That is the definition of negative powers.
A negative power equals the reciprocal of the same number to the equivalent positive power. Example : 2 ⁻³ = 1/2³ Then 8⁻² = 1/8² = 1/64 = 0.015625
-2 to the first power = -2^1. -2^1 = -2*1. -2*1 = -2. The answer is negative two.
