When we have x to a negative exponent we can move the x to the denominator and make the exponent positive.
So x-7 is the same as 1/x7 .
In general if we have a-n then this is the same as 1/an .
If you start with the negative in the denominator, then you can move it up to the numerator by changing the sign.
3
A negative power. When something is to the power of negative two, say X it would be 1/X. If something is to the power of negative 3, it would be.... etc
1 divided by x to the third power equals x to the negative third. The derivative of x to the negative third is minus three x to the negative fourth.
5.478 to negative 7 power
-3 to the 2nd power is -3 x -3 = +9 ( negative x negative = positive)

1.0 x 10^-7 What that means is simply 1 divided by -10 x -10 x -10 x -10 x -10 x -10x -10 Power means the little number after the base number and negative just means well negative (minus before the power). Also power means what ever number of power it times by itself by the number shown. So, 5 power 2 is just 25 (5x5), or we call it squared.
Five to the negative 7th power equals 0.0000128
1 divided by x to the third power equals x to the negative third. The derivative of x to the negative third is minus three x to the negative fourth.
If you have an even power the sign of the number does not matter. (-x)4 * (-x)2 = x4*x2 = x6

x8
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
5.478 to negative 7 power
a negative exponent simply indicates that the term is the reciprocal of the given value. x to the power of negative 2 is 1/x^2
