Examples :
(-2)^3 = (-2)(-2)(-2) = - 8

(-3)^4 = (-3)(-3)(-3)(-3) = 81

(-1)^5 = (-1)(-1)(-1)(-1)(-1) = -1

** if the exponent is an even number, the answer will be positive. if the exponent is an odd number, then the answer will be negative

** but keep in mind....if the negative is not included with the base..
-(5^2) = - 25....but (-5^2) = 25

a⁻ⁿ = 1/aⁿ

a⁻² = 1/a²

a⁻²³ = 1/a²³

a⁻ˣ = 1/aˣ
