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)
16/93/4 to the power 2 is 9/16. The negative sign makes it 16/9
(4/5)-2 = (5/4)2 = 25/16

Answer #1:Negative one-half to the negative 4th power, ie -((1/2)-4) equals -16Answer #2:Negative one-half to the negative 4th power, ie (-1/2)-4 equals +16
2-4 = 16
2-4 = 0.0625

16 -2-4 = 0.0625
2-2 = 4

Yes
2-2 = 1/4
-2 x -2 = 4
