Negative 8 to the negative 2 power is equal to 1/(-8)^2, which simplifies to 1/64. So, the answer is 1/64. Hope that helps, sweetie!
A negative power equals the reciprocal of the same number to the equivalent positive power. Example : 2 ⁻³ = 1/2³ Then 8⁻² = 1/8² = 1/64 = 0.015625
One half to the negative first power is equal to the reciprocal of one half raised to the first power. The reciprocal of one half is two, so (1/2)^(-1) = 1 / (1/2) = 1 * 2 = 2.
Oh, what a happy little question! When you have 2 to the power of -6, it means you're taking the reciprocal of 2 to the power of 6. So, 2 to the negative 6th power is 1 over 2 to the 6th power, which simplifies to 1 over 64. Just a little fraction painting to brighten your day!
It can be a negative or a positive number depending on the absolute value of the power.e.g.(-4) to the power of -2 gives (1/16) and(-4) to the power of -1 gives (-1/4)
