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.

It doesn't. Negative one to an even power equals positive one. Negative one to an odd power equals negative one.
Negative 12 to the power of 2 is -144
sqrt(2) = positive or negative 1.414 (rounded)
A number to a negative power is equal to One divided by number to its positive power. So, x^-2 is equal to 1/x2.
It is always negative when raised to an odd power and always positive when raised to an even power -2 to the third power = -2 x -2 x -2 = -8 -2 to the fourth power = -2 x -2 x -2 x -2 = +16
144-1/2 = 0.00347
(-1/2)6=1/64
Same as saying 2^5 = 32
