(-2/5)3 = - 0.064
-2 / (53) = - 0.016
a3*a-2 = a(3-2) = a
That is the definition of negative powers.
(-2)(2^3) = (-2)(8) = (-16)
6 to the negative 2nd means that it equals 1 over 6 to the negative 2nd.
it is a positive fraction 5^-2=1 over 5^2 answer is 1 over 25
It is always negative when raised to an odd power and always positive when raised to an even power -2 to the third power = -2 x -2 x -2 = -8 -2 to the fourth power = -2 x -2 x -2 x -2 = +16

Negative 12 to the power of 2 is -144
A negative exponent is 1 over the base to the power of the absolute value of the exponent. For example 2 to the power of -1 is 1/2, 2 to the power of -2 is 1/4, or (1/2) squared, and 2 to the power of -3 is 1/8, or (1/2) cubed.
(1/2)3 = 13/23 = 1/8
It is (2/3)^4 = 16/81
it's the same as 1 over the same number to a positive power. 2 to the power -3 = 1/ 2 cubed = 1/8
The negative means " 1 over it" so that's 1/4, and the 2 means "square it" so that's 1/16
(9/2)-1 = 1 / (9/2) = 2/9
2 to the negative 6th power as a fraction = 1/64
8 because when something is to the power of 3 it means 2x2x2 and two minuses make a plus :) hope this helps
