That depends. (odd thing to say about a math problem, I know...)

If there are parentheses anywhere then it changes. But, without any it's 5*-4^2=-80


However, with parentheses it'll be positive ... 80

What is the negative exponent law?

If you have a negative exponent, then put 1/the number multiplied by itself the number of times of the exponent. For example: 3-2=1/(3x3)=1/9


How do you evaluate each expression with only one exponent?

To evaluate an expression with only one exponent, first identify the base and the exponent. Then, apply the exponent to the base by multiplying the base by itself as many times as indicated by the exponent. For example, to evaluate (2^3), you would calculate (2 \times 2 \times 2), which equals 8. Finally, if the exponent is negative or a fraction, adjust your calculation accordingly, such as using the reciprocal for negative exponents.


What is the product of a negative number with an exponent and a positive number?

The result is a negative number which may or may not have an exponent. For example, -2*102 times 4 = -8*102 -2*102 times 0.04 = -8


What is the simple expressions of two y exponent of 3 times negative two x with exponent of negative one times three y to the exponent of four?

2y3 * (-2)x-1 * 3y4 = 2*(-2)*3*(1/x)*y3*y4 = -12y7/x


What is 3 with a negative 2 exponent?

A negative exponent indicates that the base should be taken as the reciprocal. Therefore, (3^{-2}) is equal to (1/(3^2)). Calculating (3^2) gives 9, so (3^{-2} = 1/9).


Why does a negative exponent equal a fraction?

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


What does 6with the exponent of 2 equal?

What is negative 8 exponent 2?

Negative 8 raised to the exponent 2, written as ((-8)^2), equals 64. This is because when you square a number, you multiply it by itself: (-8 \times -8 = 64). The negative sign is squared as well, resulting in a positive product.


What is 2 times negative 2 equal?

the answer is -4


What does it mean when an exponent is a negative number?
