What does the Negative Exponent Property say?

4

Practice makes perfect

We want to find the value of the given exponential expression. To do so, we will use the Negative Exponent Property.

Negative Exponent Property

1/a^n = a^(- n), for every nonzero number a

Let's simplify the given expression using these properties.

1/(64)^(- 13)
(64)^(- ( - 13 ))
(64)^(13)
sqrt(64)
