Adding a negative number to a negative number makes a larger negative. In order to solve this you add the numbers together as a positive then add a negative sign.
- 4 - 12 = -16 You are subtracting from an already negative number making it more negative.
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)
The answer depends on the power number. If, for example, the power number is -0.5, then there is no rule in real numbers.
3^(-4) = (1/3)^4 = 1/81
A number to a negative power is equal to One divided by number to its positive power. So, x^-2 is equal to 1/x2.
turn the positive number into its recipricol and the put the number of the negative number on the top
For anything to the power of a negative, put the number as the denominator in 1/? and then solve (ex: 2 to the power of neg. 2 = 1/2 to the power of 2 = 1/4)

When any number is divided by a negative number the result is negative. So, 120 / -4 = -30
Adding a negative number to a negative number makes a larger negative. In order to solve this you add the numbers together as a positive then add a negative sign.
Please consider the following two facts: A negative number to an even power is positive; but a negative number to an odd power is negative. Any positive number is greater than any negative number.
When a negative number is raised to an even power the result is a positive number
(-1)^3 = -1 Every negative number raised to the odd power is a negative number.

A negative power. When something is to the power of negative two, say X it would be 1/X. If something is to the power of negative 3, it would be.... etc
