it equals 1/25, or 0.04.
A number to a negative power is the reciprocal of the number to that same positive power.
x^(-y) = 1/(x^y)
16 -2-4 = 0.0625
5-2 = 1/25. Expressed as a decimal, this is equal to 0.04.
Well, honey, negative 5 can be written as -5. So any combination of numbers that add up to -5 would work. For example, -2 and -3, or -1 and -4. Just make sure the total adds up to -5, and you're good to go.

Multiplying and dividing two negatives does equal a positive. Adding two negatives equals a negative, but subtracting two negatives may or may not equal a positive. Ex. -2 * -4 = 8 -10/-2 = 5 -2+ -4 = -6 -4- -2 = -2 -2- -4 = 2
16 -2-4 = 0.0625
negative 0.0016

Negative 3 raised to the power of 5 is equal to -243.
negative 5
That is the definition of negative powers.
5-1 = 1/5 or 0.2
To simplify the expression ((4^5 \times 4^{-3})^{-2}), first combine the exponents: (4^{5 - 3} = 4^2). Then, raising it to the power of (-2) gives (4^{2 \times -2} = 4^{-4}), which is equal to (\frac{1}{4^4} = \frac{1}{256}). Therefore, the expression is equal to (\frac{1}{256}), confirming that it is equal to 1 over 256.
5-2 = 1/25. Expressed as a decimal, this is equal to 0.04.
5-2 is 0.04
