Question

Thanks in advance for the answer

Answer 1

Any number raised to the negative power, is simply, 1 over that number raised to the opposite of the negative number.

For example, 2 to the power of -2 would end up being:


`(1)/( 2^(2) )` = 1/4

Same with all the others.

For example, 3 to the power of -3 would end up being:


`(1)/( 3^(3) )`

And then you would just solve for the exponent on the bottom.

Answer 2

`2^(-2) = (1)/(2^(2)) = (1)/(4)`

does this make sense to you? Do you have any questions about raising numbers to a negative value?
