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.
10 to the negative 27th power is equal to 1 divided by 10 raised to the 27th power. This can be simplified to 1 divided by 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, which is equal to 0.0000000000000000000000000001. In scientific notation, this number would be written as 1 x 10^-27.
For all x not equal to 0, -x/x = -1
x-5 power = 1 over x to the positive 5th power which would look like this: 1 ---- x5
A negative times a negative equals a positive.Positive.- x - = ++ x - = -

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.
it equals 1/25, or 0.04. A number to a negative power is the reciprocal of the number to that same positive power. x^(-y) = 1/(x^y)
When a number is raised to a negative exponent, it is equivalent to its reciprocal raised to the positive exponent. Therefore, x to the power of -7 is equal to 1 divided by x to the power of 7, or 1/x^7.
1.004 X 10-1 is equal to 0.1004.
10 to the negative 27th power is equal to 1 divided by 10 raised to the 27th power. This can be simplified to 1 divided by 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, which is equal to 0.0000000000000000000000000001. In scientific notation, this number would be written as 1 x 10^-27.
a negative number plus a negative number is negative. here is a proof.(-x)+(-x)(-1)x+(-1)x-1(x+x)-1(2x)-2xa negative number times a negative number is positive though.
When you multiply a number by its reciprocal, the result is always 1. Therefore, x times x to the power of -1 is equal to 1. This can be understood by applying the rule of exponents that states x^(-1) is the same as 1/x. So, x * (1/x) = 1.
Negative one half to the fourth power equals 0.0625
0.00001 or 1 over 100,000
x to the power a divided by x to the power b is x to the power (a - b) When a and b are equal then this is x to the power a divided by x to the power a, ie 1. x to the power (a - a) = x to the power zero. Things which are equal to the same thing are equal to each other, so 1 = x to the power zero.
