Negative 12 to the power of 2 is -144
Oh, isn't that a happy little question! When we have a number raised to a negative power, like 10 to the negative sixth power, it means we take the reciprocal of that number. So, 10 to the negative sixth power is equal to 1 divided by 10 to the sixth power, which simplifies to 1 divided by 1,000,000 or 0.000001. Just a tiny little number, but every number has its place on the canvas of mathematics!
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
