Why does a negative integer raised to an even power always result in a positive integer?
The multiplication rule of thumb always states that a negative number times a negative number results in a positive number. Since an even number is always divisible by two, any value raised to an even integer power will result in a positive number. However, a basic proof is presented as follows: (-A) * (-A) = A^2 ((-A) * (-A)) ^ 2 = ((-A * -A) * (-A * -A)) = A^2 * A^2 = A ^ 4 ...
Does a negative number raised to an odd power simplifies to a negative number?
Yes
16 to the negative 3 halves power Write with positive exponents and simplify show work t?
A base raised to a negative power is equal to 1 divided by that base raised to a positive exponent. So 16 raised to (-3/2) is equal to 1/ (16 raised 3/2), or 1/64.
What is the result of a negative number raised to the 54th power?
When a negative number is raised to an even power the result is a positive number
What is a rule for raising a negative number to a power?
It is the positive form of the number raised to that power, multpilied by -1 raised to that power.
When a negative number is raised to an even power the result is a positive number?
Yes
Is it true if a negative number is raised to the 18th power the answer will be negative?
No. Negative numbers to even powers are positive.
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.
Why is any number raised to a even power positive?
A positive number times a positive number is always positive. A negative number times a negative number is always positive. Therefore, any square number will be positive. Any number to the fourth power (a square times a square) will always be positive. And so on.

Any number, positive or negative, raised to an even-numbered power, returns a positive number.
Why doesnt the function y ex ever cross the x-axis?
no number can be raised to a power and equal 0 (x^y can never = 0). e is positive (about 2.7) and any positive number can not be raised to a power and equal negative (positive number X positive number = positive number)
What is negative 1 to the power of twenty?

Log -3 equals?
There is no answer - it is an error: negative numbers do not have logarithms. The log if a number tells to what power the (positive) base must be raised to get the number. Raising any positive number to any power will never result in a negative number, so it is an error to try and take the log of a negative number.
