Negative Numbers with Exponents
The exponents of the negative number are calculated by following the rules,
- (-1)n = 1 if n is even
- (-1)n = (-1) if n is odd
These rules are explained as,
If n is even then the value of the exponent is positive and the exponent is calculated normally,
For example, -44 = (-4) × (-4) × (-4) × (-4) = 256
If n is odd then the value of the exponent is negative and the exponent is calculated normally,
For example, -43 = (-4) × (-4) × (-4) = -64

Negative Numbers
Negative Numbers are the numbers that are represented on the negative side of the number line. Negative Numbers are the numbers whose value is less than zero. They are placed on the left-hand side of the zero on the number line. We apply the (-) minus sign before negative numbers to represent them. For example, -5 represents a number that is five units on the left side of zero in the number line.
