Exponents work like this: if you have a number xn, then x-n = 1/(xn), so you could write 1/144 as 144-1, or since 144 is 122, you could write it as 12-2. Hope this helps.
For example, 10 to the power -5 means the same as 1 divided by (10 to the power 5). In general, you can interpret negative exponents this way, with reciprocals.
A number to a negative exponent is the inverse of the number to the positive exponent. That is, x-a = 1/xa
No, a number raised to a negative exponent is less than 1. When a number is raised to a negative exponent, it is inverted and the exponent becomes positive. This means that the value of the number decreases as the exponent becomes more negative.
If you have a negative exponent, then put 1/the number multiplied by itself the number of times of the exponent. For example: 3-2=1/(3x3)=1/9
It is: -6-1 = -1/6
