No Actually... x^(-y) is equal to 1/x^y. 2^(-2) is equal to 1/2^2 which is equal to 1/4 or 0.25.
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!
9-2 = 1/92 = 1/81
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.
A negative exponent or power is equivalent to the reciprocal of the positive exponent. 2-4 = 1/24 = 1/16 = 0.0625
