What power of -2 is raised to get -32?
30
What is a number raised to the negative power?
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.)
What is negative 2 plus negative 3?
negative 5
Negative 5 plus what number will give you negative 2?
3 negative 5 and 3 equals negative 2 easy question (-5) + 3 = (-2)
What is 5 to the power of negative 1?
When a number is raised to a negative exponent, it means the reciprocal of that number raised to the positive exponent. Therefore, 5 to the power of -1 is equal to 1/5, or 0.2. This is because any number raised to the power of -1 is the multiplicative inverse of that number, which is the reciprocal.
What power of -2 is raised to get -32?
30
What is negative 5 raised to the power of negative 1?
It is -1/5
How much is 5 divided by 10 raised to negative 3?
The question could mean 5 divided by (10 raised to the negative 3),or it could mean (5 divided by 10) raised to the negative 3 .5/(10)-3 = 5 x (10)3 = 5,000===========================(5/10)-3 =( 1/2)-3 = 23 = 8
How do you solve 3 raised to negative 2 plus 6 raised to negative 1?
3 raised to negative 2 would be -9 plus 6 to the negative 1 which is -6 so -9+-6=-15
What is the answer to 5 raised to a power of negative 1?
1/5
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.
What is negative 2 raised to the negative five power?
-1/32
When is a negative number raised to an odd power negative?
It is always negative when raised to an odd power and always positive when raised to an even power -2 to the third power = -2 x -2 x -2 = -8 -2 to the fourth power = -2 x -2 x -2 x -2 = +16
Is five negavite two is a positive or negative number?
I am going to say positive. If it is 5 -2 well that is 3, which is positive. Possibly you mean 5 with a small -2 slightly raised after it. That means 5 raised to the power of -2. Any time you have a negative exponent, you can take the reciprocal, and make it positve. So 5^-2 {the ^ symbol means to raise the power of} can be rewritten as 1/(5^2), which is 1/25. And this is a positive number as well.
What is smaller is it 10 raised to the power of negative 7 or 10 raised to the power of negative 2?
10-7 is smaller than 10-2.
Is a number that is raised to a negative number negative?
No. A negative power simply indicates a reciprocal of the positive power. So 3-4 = 1/34 = 1/81 while (-2)-5 = 1/(-2)5 = 1/(-32) = -1/32
Can a negative number be raised to an odd power?
yes, but the answer will remain negative. for example, (-2)3 is -8 in order to make a negative number positive, it must be raised to an even power, for example (-2)2 = 4
