That is the definition of negative powers.
It is 1 over that number to the same power, but positive. So 4^-5=1/4^5
It is equivalent to 1 over 5 to the power of 5, or 1 over 3125.
They are not! 5-3, for example is not 1/52 nor (1/5)2.
Yes.

it's the same as 1 over the same number to a positive power. 2 to the power -3 = 1/ 2 cubed = 1/8
It is 1 over that number to the same power, but positive. So 4^-5=1/4^5
1 over 3 to the negative 2nd power is 9
It is equivalent to 1 over 5 to the power of 5, or 1 over 3125.
They are not! 5-3, for example is not 1/52 nor (1/5)2.
Oh, what a happy little question! When we have a number raised to a negative power, we can simply move it to the denominator to make it positive. So, 3 to the power of negative 5 is 1 over 3 to the power of 5, which equals 1 over 243. Just a little math magic to brighten your day!
Yes.
Oh, what a happy little question! When we have a number raised to a negative power, we can simply move it to the denominator to make it positive. So, 6 to the negative 4th power is the same as 1 over 6 to the 4th power, which simplifies to 1 over 1296. Just a little math magic to brighten your day!
To express x to the power of negative 2 as a fraction, you can rewrite it as 1 over x squared. This is because any number raised to a negative exponent is equivalent to its reciprocal raised to the positive exponent. Therefore, x to the power of negative 2 is the same as 1 over x squared.
1-1 is the same as 1/1 = 1

1000000 * * * * * NO! That is 10 to the power of 6. 10 to the power of NEGATIVE 6 is 1 over 1000000 or 0.000001
