1000000 * * * * * NO! That is 10 to the power of 6. 10 to the power of NEGATIVE 6 is 1 over 1000000 or 0.000001
The answer is negative (-1 raised to the power of 100 = -1)
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.)
Such that 64 is equal to 26, or two to the power six, 1/64 is equal to 2-6, or two to the power minus six.
Well, honey, any quotient equal to 4 to the negative fifth power is just 1 over 4 to the fifth power, which simplifies to 1 over 1024. So, grab your calculator and divide 1 by 1024, and you'll have your answer faster than you can say "Golden Girls marathon."
It is equivalent to 1 over 5 to the power of 5, or 1 over 3125.
(9/2)-1 = 1 / (9/2) = 2/9
That is the definition of negative powers.
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
1/16.

2-2 = 1/(22) = 1/4

1000000 * * * * * NO! That is 10 to the power of 6. 10 to the power of NEGATIVE 6 is 1 over 1000000 or 0.000001
it is a positive fraction 5^-2=1 over 5^2 answer is 1 over 25
1/16
6 to the negative 2nd means that it equals 1 over 6 to the negative 2nd.
