Question

A number, a, raised to the negative n power is equal to 1 _ by a raised to the positive n power.
Negative Exponents Rule

a^(-n) = 1/a^(_)

Examples:
6^(-3) = 1/6^(_) = 1/_
(-2)^(-5) = 1/-2^(_) = 1/32 = -1/_

Answer 1

A number, a, raised to the negative n power is equal to 1 divided by a raised to the positive n power.

Negative Exponents Rule

a^(-n) = 1/a^(n)

Examples: 6^(-3) = 1/6^(3) = 1/216
(-2)^(-5) = 1/-2^(5) = 1/32 = -1/32
