Not always.
(-4)-2 = 1/(-4)2 = 1/16 which is positive.
(-4)-3 = 1/(-4)3 = 1/(-64) which is negative.

When a base of an exponential expression is apositive real number and exponent is an integer?
Then, if the exponent is a positive integer, the value is 1 multiplied by the base repeatedly, exponent times. If the exponent is a negative integer then it is the reciprocal of the above value.In either case, it is NOT the base multiplied by itself an exponent number of times.
