To raise a number to a negative power, first, ignore the negative and just raise the number to the positive exponent. Then write 1 over the number.
Examples:
\(5^{-3} \) start with \(5^3 = 125\). Now write 1 over that. Answer \(\dfrac{ 1}{125} \)
\(6^{-2}\) start with \(6^2 = 36\). Now write 1 over the number. Answer \(\dfrac{1}{36} \)
