When a number is raised to a negative exponent, it means the reciprocal of that number raised to the positive exponent. So, 10 to the power of -5 is equal to 1 divided by 10 to the power of 5, which is 1/100,000 or 0.00001. This notation is commonly used in scientific notation to represent very small numbers.
