Answer #1:Negative one-half to the negative 4th power, ie -((1/2)-4) equals -16Answer #2:Negative one-half to the negative 4th power, ie (-1/2)-4 equals +16

2-1 x 2-2 = 2-1 + -2 = 2-3 = 1/8, or one eighth.

2 to the negative 6th power as a fraction = 1/64
1/64
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
A negative exponent is 1 over the base to the power of the absolute value of the exponent. For example 2 to the power of -1 is 1/2, 2 to the power of -2 is 1/4, or (1/2) squared, and 2 to the power of -3 is 1/8, or (1/2) cubed.
When something is to the negative first power, you find the inverse of it - which means you flip the fraction. (1/2)^-1=2/1 2
for expanding negative powers of a number you take 1 divided by the number to the positive power and expand. For example 2 to the -1 power is 1 divided by 2 to the + 1 power = 1/2 2 to the -3 power is 1 divided by 2 tot he + 3 power = 1/8 this is called inverse
-1/32
1/9
2-2 = 1/4
It can be a negative or a positive number depending on the absolute value of the power.e.g.(-4) to the power of -2 gives (1/16) and(-4) to the power of -1 gives (-1/4)
