Exponents - Negative Exponents, Negative Base (Level 2)

This topic focuses on the calculation of exponents with negative bases and exponents. It includes problems that involve calculating the outcome when negative bases are raised to negative exponents at level 2 difficulty. Each question presents a mathematical expression along with multiple choice answers, requiring the application of advanced exponentiation rules such as dealing with negative values in both bases and exponents. This topic extends the regular exponentiation concept by incorporating negative values, which is a crucial skill in handling exponential expressions in advanced mathematics.
