A negative power equals the reciprocal of the same number to the equivalent positive power. Example : 2 ⁻³ = 1/2³ Then 8⁻² = 1/8² = 1/64 = 0.015625
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
Negative 12 to the power of 2 is -144
That's the same as one divided by 82. This is wrong
it's the same as 1 over the same number to a positive power. 2 to the power -3 = 1/ 2 cubed = 1/8
A negative power equals the reciprocal of the same number to the equivalent positive power. Example : 2 ⁻³ = 1/2³ Then 8⁻² = 1/8² = 1/64 = 0.015625
8^(-2) = 1/8^(2) = 1 /64
the answer= 1/8
-8^2 is equal to 64.
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
2*10-8 = 0.000 000 02
2-1 x 2-2 = 2-1 + -2 = 2-3 = 1/8, or one eighth.
You should try it. For example, (-2)3 = (-2)(-2)(-2) = -8.
1/8 or .125
Using symbol "^" for power. 2^(-3) is 1 / (2^3). 2^3 means 2x2x2.
yes, but the answer will remain negative. for example, (-2)3 is -8 in order to make a negative number positive, it must be raised to an even power, for example (-2)2 = 4
1/3
