2¹ = 2
-2 to the first power = -2^1. -2^1 = -2*1. -2*1 = -2. The answer is negative two.
5^2
If you have 3 to the power 2 to the power 2, without any parentheses, you have to calculate from right to left. In this case, calculate 2 to the power 2; then calculate 3 to the power (whatever the result you get). If there are parentheses, do the calculation in parentheses first.

2¹ = 2
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 to the first power = -2^1. -2^1 = -2*1. -2*1 = -2. The answer is negative two.
Any number to the 1st power is the same number, unchanged. Two to the 1st power is 2.

If you have 3 to the power 2 to the power 2, without any parentheses, you have to calculate from right to left. In this case, calculate 2 to the power 2; then calculate 3 to the power (whatever the result you get). If there are parentheses, do the calculation in parentheses first.

Simpley, 2(to the power of)3 as there are 3 2's after the first :-)
You evaluate the power of the power first. For example, 4 to the power of (3 to the power of 2) is 4 to the power of 9 which is 262,144
