is a negative number equal to 1/(that number) (for example is -2 = 1/2)
No! Look at the number line:
No!. But a number with negative exponent means that. For example, if you see a number like: 3^-2, then that'a the same as 1/ 3^2. The only difference is that the sign of the exponent(-2) changes from negative to positive thus: 3^2
