The answer depends on the power number. If, for example, the power number is -0.5, then there is no rule in real numbers.
Oh, isn't that a happy little question! When we have a number raised to a negative power, like 10 to the negative sixth power, it means we take the reciprocal of that number. So, 10 to the negative sixth power is equal to 1 divided by 10 to the sixth power, which simplifies to 1 divided by 1,000,000 or 0.000001. Just a tiny little number, but every number has its place on the canvas of mathematics!
When a number is raised to a negative exponent, it means the reciprocal of that number raised to the positive exponent. So, 6 to the negative 2nd power is equivalent to 1/(6^2), which simplifies to 1/36. Therefore, 6 to the negative 2nd power as a fraction is 1/36.
Whenever you have a number to the negative power, the number would become a fraction so that the power could be positive: 8-4 = 1/84 which results in 1/4096 = 2.4414x10-4 (decimal form)
it's the same as 1 over the same number to a positive power. 2 to the power -3 = 1/ 2 cubed = 1/8
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.
negative
Yes
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.
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
Negative, because 5 is an odd number
A negative power gives you the reciprocal of the positive power so yes you flip your number.
The result will be a negative value.
Positive
It does not work that way. A negative power is simply the reciprocal. So that x-a = 1/xa The reciprocal is negative or positive according to whether the number itself is negative or positive. [And, if the number is 0, the reciprocal is not defined.]
