The relevant exponent is -2.
-3
You can do it if you replace the base by its reciprocal.
To find the reciprocal of a whole number, you must first write it as a fraction. You do this by writing x/1, if the number is 4, it would be 4/1. Then you would find the reciprocal of that fraction. So using the same example, the reciprocal of 4 is 1/4.
the reciprocal of a number is 1 divided by the number. if you want to find the reciprocal of a fraction you would need to swap the fraction numbers around and then multiply by 1. and then divide the answer.It is 1 divided by the number.
The relevant exponent is -2.
Find the reciprocal of the positive exponent. Thus, x-a = 1/xa
A negative exponent is the reciprocal of the corresponding positive exponent. 102 = 100 10-2 = 1/100

A number with a negative exponent should be treated as the reciprocal of that same number with the analogous positive exponent. For example, 42 = 16, but 4-2 = 1/42 = 1/16.
The reciprocal of a number plus the reciprocal of twice the number equals Find the number. 1/2 find the number
The reciprocal of a^(-x/y) is 1/a^(x/y). The fact that the exponent is a fraction makes no difference.
A negative exponent is simply the reciprocal of the positive exponent. So simply remove the negative sign and find the reciprocal. Thus, for example, 5-3 = 1/53 = 1/125
Then, if the exponent is a positive integer, the value is 1 multiplied by the base repeatedly, exponent times. If the exponent is a negative integer then it is the reciprocal of the above value.In either case, it is NOT the base multiplied by itself an exponent number of times.
Number x Reciprocal = 1 Therefore Reciprocal = 1/Number
The reciprocal of a number is what the original number is multiplied by to get 1. To find this you can simply divide 1 by the number you want the reciprocal for or, if the number is in fraction form, switch the denominator and numerator.
Raising a number to a negative exponent gives you the reciprocal of the same number raised to the corresponding positive exponent. For example, 32 = 9, so 3-2 = 1/9
