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.
Negative 12 to the power of 2 is -144
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
1/64
If the coefficient of the highest power of a variable of interest is negative.
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.
negative 0.0016
-2 to the first power = -2^1. -2^1 = -2*1. -2*1 = -2. The answer is negative two.

Negative 12 to the power of 2 is -144
Three fourths to the negative first power is 1.33333333333
Two thirds to the negative 2 power can be simplified by first taking the reciprocal of two thirds, which is three halves. Then, raising three halves to the negative 2 power means taking the reciprocal of three halves squared, which is four ninths. Therefore, two thirds to the negative 2 power simplifies to four ninths.
2 to the power of negative one is equal to 0.5

5.3 times ten to the negative first power is 0.53
A half ( 20 = 1, so 2 to the (0 - 1) = 1/2)
