Two over four is 2/4
2/4 cancel down by '2' == 1/2
Then appliying the second power. (1/2)^2 =>
(/2 x 1/2 ) = 1/4 The answer!!!!
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.)
1/2r
Seven raised to the power two means 7^2 or 'Seven squared'. 7^2 = 7 x 7 = 49
The power could then be called an exponent. The number that is being raised to a power is called the base. In the case of 42, the exponent is 2 and the base is 4.
