-1/32
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
10-7 is smaller than 10-2.
yes, but the answer will remain negative. for example, (-2)3 is -8 in order to make a negative number positive, it must be raised to an even power, for example (-2)2 = 4
30
-120= 1 because 1.) any negative number raised to an even power will result in a positive numberand 2.) 1 raised to any power is 1.
You should try it. For example, (-2)3 = (-2)(-2)(-2) = -8.
No, or more accurately "not necessarily".A negative to any even power is positive. -2, -4, -6 etc. are even, so a negative number raised to any of those powers will be positive.However, a negative number raised to an odd negative power (-1, -3, -5 etc.) will be negative.
A negative integer raised to an even power results in a positive integer, not a negative integer. This occurs because multiplying a negative number by itself an even number of times cancels out the negative signs. For example, ((-2)^2 = 4) and ((-3)^4 = 81), both of which are positive. Therefore, the statement is incorrect; a negative integer raised to an even power is always positive.
To express x to the power of negative 2 as a fraction, you can rewrite it as 1 over x squared. This is because any number raised to a negative exponent is equivalent to its reciprocal raised to the positive exponent. Therefore, x to the power of negative 2 is the same as 1 over x squared.
125. Five to the power of two is 25 and 25 times five is 125!
144-1/2 = 0.00347
(-3)^2 =9 but -3^2 = -9
