That's the same as one divided by 82. This is wrong
-1/8
1/64
Negative 64
the answer= 1/8
-2 ^ (-3) = 1 / (-2)^3 = -1/8
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
1/8
-82 = 64
2*10-8 = 0.000 000 02
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
2
1/8 or .125
