Question

Rewrite the following without an exponent
(-7)⁻²

Answer 1

The correct answer is 1/49

Explanation:

In order to find this, we first can eliminate the negative in the exponent by putting the whole this in the denominator.

(-7)^-2 = 1/(-7)^2

Now we can evaluate the denominator

1/(-7)^2 = 1/49
