This math topic focuses on the application of the power law for exponents, specifically involving negative exponents and prime bases. Problems require calculating the results of multiplying terms with powers, where bases are prime numbers like 2, 3, 5, 7, and 11, all raised to negative exponents. It tests the understanding of how multiplying terms with exponents results in adding the exponents and applying this to negative values, emphasizing the concept of reciprocal as seen in expressions like the inverse of a base raised to a positive power.
