Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

What do you need help with

Answer 4

\[\huge b^{-n}=\frac{1}{b^n}\] no matter if \(n\) is positive or negative

Answer 5

How to solve them, so like if there is a oriblem like 7^-2

Answer 6

okay

Answer 7

\[7^{-2}\] is not "solved", but it can be changed to a different form
for example, if you "flip" it (and change the -2 to +2), it can be written as
\[ \frac{1}{7^2} \]
you could also write it as \[ \frac{1}{49} \]
