Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

An negative exponent seems hard, but it really isn't!

Let's say you have [tex]2^{-3}[/tex]

All you do is inverse the expression, or find the reciprocal. When you do this the exponent changes to positive .  

[tex]\frac{1}{2^{3} }[/tex]

[tex]2^{3}[/tex] simplifies into 8. So, the result is

[tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

Hope this helps! Please mark as brainliest, thanks!
