A number with a negative exponent should be treated as the reciprocal of that same number with the analogous positive exponent. For example, 42 = 16, but 4-2 = 1/42 = 1/16.

166 = 16,777,216
Example(4)2 ( 3)first you take care of the exponent(16)(3)then you times the other numbersYou might mean what happens when you raise and exponent to a power?You multiply the the exponents.
A negative exponent is the same as the reciprocal of the number with a positive exponent.Thus 2^(-4) is the reciprocal of 2^4. Now 2^4 = 16 and the reciprocal of 16 is 1/16 so 2^-4 = 1/(2^4) = 1/16 = 0.0625
An exponent is 1; 16 = 16^1
How do you use an exponent to represent a number such as 16
It is: 24 = 16
16
16
It is: 2^4 = 16
A number with a negative exponent should be treated as the reciprocal of that same number with the analogous positive exponent. For example, 42 = 16, but 4-2 = 1/42 = 1/16.

When you have a number raised to a negative exponent, you move to the left rather than the right in decimal places. E.g. 103 = 1000 10-3 = 0.001 More specifically, when you have a negative exponent, you are taking the reciprocal of what the positive exponent would give. 24 = 16, but 2-4=(1/16) ■
It is: 4 squared = 16 or 2 to the power of 4 = 16
