They are not! 5-3, for example is not 1/52 nor (1/5)2.
That is the definition of negative powers.
it's the same as 1 over the same number to a positive power. 2 to the power -3 = 1/ 2 cubed = 1/8
1 over 3 to the negative 2nd power is 9
It is 1 over that number to the same power, but positive. So 4^-5=1/4^5
It is equivalent to 1 over 5 to the power of 5, or 1 over 3125.
Yes.
1-1 is the same as 1/1 = 1
32
1000000 * * * * * NO! That is 10 to the power of 6. 10 to the power of NEGATIVE 6 is 1 over 1000000 or 0.000001
it is a positive fraction 5^-2=1 over 5^2 answer is 1 over 25
That is the same as 1 divided by 8 to the positive power 1/(8x8x8) = 1/512
It is n cubed.
