What is negative 5 raised to the power of negative 1?
It is -1/5
Is a negative to a negative power positive?
No, or more accurately "not necessarily".A negative to any even power is positive. -2, -4, -6 etc. are even, so a negative number raised to any of those powers will be positive.However, a negative number raised to an odd negative power (-1, -3, -5 etc.) will be negative.
What is negative 3 to the power of five?
Negative 3 raised to the power of 5 is equal to -243.
How do you calculate a negative power such as 5 to the negative 5 power?
It is equivalent to 1 over 5 to the power of 5, or 1 over 3125.
What is .5 to the negative 1 exponent?
2. When a number is raised to a negative power, move it to the other side of the fraction. So, (0.5)^(-1) is the same as (1)/(0.5)^(1) or 1/(1/2). from there, just divide the fractions, and you will be left with 2.

What is 5 to the power of negative 1?
When a number is raised to a negative exponent, it means the reciprocal of that number raised to the positive exponent. Therefore, 5 to the power of -1 is equal to 1/5, or 0.2. This is because any number raised to the power of -1 is the multiplicative inverse of that number, which is the reciprocal.
Is a number that is raised to a negative number negative?
No. A negative power simply indicates a reciprocal of the positive power. So 3-4 = 1/34 = 1/81 while (-2)-5 = 1/(-2)5 = 1/(-32) = -1/32
What is a number raised to the negative power?
It's the inverse of the number raised to the power. 2 to the power of negative 3 would be 1/8th.1 over 25Improvement(shininggallade):When raising a whole number to a negative power, simply raise 5 to the second power, which is 25, and put a 1 over it. 5^-2=1/25 A more technical definition is to reverse the numerator and denominator and then apply the power. Remember 5 is the same as 5/1, so (5^-2)/1=1/(5^2)=1/25(The symbol for "to the power of" is "^" just to let you know.)
What does 10 to the negative 1 equal?
10 to the negative 1 is equal to 1 divided by 10, which simplifies to 0.1. This is because any number raised to the power of -1 is the reciprocal of that number. In this case, the reciprocal of 10 is 1/10 or 0.1.

What is 10 to the power of negative 5?
0.00001 or 1 over 100,000
What is 3 to the power of negative 5?
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!
