When you have an exponent that is negative, it means to take reciprocal of the fraction then take it the power.
Some examples:
5^-2 = 1/5^2 = 1/25
10^-3 = 1/10^-3 = 1/1000

Step-by-step explanation:

Let
x---------> first positive integer
x+1------> second positive integer
x+2-----> third positive integer
we know that
(x+1)*(x+2)=72-------> x² +2x+x+2=72 -------> x² +3x-70=0
using a graph tool-------> <span>I solve the quadratic equation
</span>see the attached figure
the roots are
x1=-10
x2=7
the answer is
first positive integer is x=7
second positive integer is x+1=8
third positive integer is x+2=9
A^2 + b^2 = c^2
3^2 + 8^2 = c^2
9 + 64 = c^2
73 =c^2
take the square root of each side
c= 8.544
