One half to the negative first power is equal to the reciprocal of one half raised to the first power. The reciprocal of one half is two, so (1/2)^(-1) = 1 / (1/2) = 1 * 2 = 2.

2-1 x 2-2 = 2-1 + -2 = 2-3 = 1/8, or one eighth.
9 to negative 2 = 1/9 to plus 2 = 1/81
0.03 is the square power
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
That is the definition of negative powers.
