It doesn't. Negative one to an even power equals positive one. Negative one to an odd power equals negative one.
Negative one half to the fourth power equals 0.0625
144-1/2 = 0.00347
sqrt(2) = positive or negative 1.414 (rounded)
-1 1/2 (negative one and one half)
Negative one half to the fourth power equals 0.0625
Answer #1:Negative one-half to the negative 4th power, ie -((1/2)-4) equals -16Answer #2:Negative one-half to the negative 4th power, ie (-1/2)-4 equals +16
One half to the negative first power is equal to the reciprocal of one half raised to the first power. The reciprocal of one half is two, so (1/2)^(-1) = 1 / (1/2) = 1 * 2 = 2.
-1/29 = -1/512

Same as saying 2^5 = 32
256 to the negative one-half power = 0.0625
