    -5^-2

    taking something to the power of - 2 is basically saying to take it to the power of 2, and then inverse it

    -5^2 = 25

    inverse of 25 = 1/25

    -5^-2 = 1/25, or 0.04

    So if you have the negative then you just have it over one so 2^-2 means

    (1 / (2^2)) = 2^-2 so

    -5^-2=1 / (-5^2) = 1/25
