Oh, what a happy little question! When you have 2 to the power of -6, it means you're taking the reciprocal of 2 to the power of 6. So, 2 to the negative 6th power is 1 over 2 to the 6th power, which simplifies to 1 over 64. Just a little fraction painting to brighten your day!
When something is to the negative first power, you find the inverse of it - which means you flip the fraction. (1/2)^-1=2/1 2
Negative 12 to the power of 2 is -144
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
Ah, let's paint a happy little picture with numbers here. When we have a negative exponent like -2, we can flip the base to make it positive. So, 6 to the negative 2nd power is the same as 1 over 6 squared, which simplifies to 1 over 36. Just a little math magic to brighten your day!
There is no specific name. -3 is greater than -4 and (-3)/(-4) = 3/4 is a positive proper fraction. 3 is greater than -4 and 3/(-4) = -3/4 is a negative proper fraction. 3 is greater than -2 and 3/(-2) = -3/2 is a negative improper fraction. 4 is greater than 3 and 4/3 is a positive improper fraction. Thus, the fraction can be negative or positive, proper or improper.
To express x to the power of negative 2 as a fraction, you can rewrite it as 1 over x squared. This is because any number raised to a negative exponent is equivalent to its reciprocal raised to the positive exponent. Therefore, x to the power of negative 2 is the same as 1 over x squared.
it is a positive fraction 5^-2=1 over 5^2 answer is 1 over 25
n to the -2 power is improper, to get rid of the negative, you flip it so, n to the -2 would be 1 /n to the 2
Yes. eg: a fraction -4/2 = -2 an integer
Take the reciprocal of the fraction (flip it over). Then change the power to its positive equivalent.So, for example, (2/5)^-3 = (5/2)^3 = 125/8.
negative -1/2+-1/2 = -1
2^(3) X 2^(2( X 2^(-1) Per the law of indices . When the coefficient is the same , '2' in this case, you add the indices. Hence 2^(3 + 2 + -1) 2^(5 - 1) 2^(4) = 16 Verification 2&(3) = 8 2^(2( = 4 2^(-1( = 1/2 Hence 8 x 4 X 1/2 = 32 x 1/2 = 16 NB Laws of indices/ When the coefficient is the same in ALL cases. #1 a^(n) X a^(m) = a^(n+m) ; Add the indices #2 a^(n) divide a^(m) = a^(n-m) ; Subtract the indices ) #3 [a^(n)]^(m) = a^(nm( ; 'nesting' multiply the indices. NB you cannot use these laws for different coefficients e.g. a^(n) X b^(n) NOT allowed/. e.g. 2^(2) X 3^(2) is NOT [2x3] ^(2 + 2)
You put the negative to the side, before the fraction, or you put the negative in the numerator, so it's a negative fraction. It can look like this: -1/2 or the negative can be on the side of the fraction
both negatives will be canceled and answer will be positive
Expressed as a decimal fraction, 6.7 x 10-2 = 0.067
To get something to a negative power, first you must put it on the opposite side of the fraction it would be on currently. Also, when you do this, you switch the negative exponent to a positive exponent. 13^-2 1 = 1 13^2 Solve. 1 169 = 13^-2
