This math topic focuses on applying the power law of exponents, particularly with numbers with negative bases and exponents. The exercises include calculating powers of negative exponents and handling multiple layers of exponents involving negative values. Each question presents a numeric expression of a base raised to a power, which is then raised to another power, and students are required to simplify these to their simplest forms. Options for answers vary, illustrating common misconceptions or mistakes that might occur in these calculations. This is an introduction to the power laws of exponents.
