Negative 6 raised to the negative 2 power is 1/36. Basically, you're flipping negative 6 (which is already negative) and then squaring it (making it positive). It's like turning a frown upside down, math style.

Well, isn't that a happy little math problem! When you have a negative number raised to a negative exponent, you can think of it as taking the reciprocal of the base and making the exponent positive. So, in this case, negative 6 raised to the negative 2 power is equal to 1 over negative 6 squared, which simplifies to 1/36. Just a little math magic to brighten your day!

Positive 1 over 6 raised to the 2nd power 1/62 or 1 over 36 which is 1/36. To find -6-2, take the inverse of -62.

(first find -62) -62 = -6 * -6 = 36

(then take the inverse of 36, which is 1 over 36) = 1 / 36 = 0.0277

so, -6-2 =0.0277
