Thank you so much Ms. Sue

Oh my gosh, thank you! I'm doing the test and I'm using this to check my answers, and now I realize that I was wrong! Thank you! <3

i think yhu are right because i am right perioddddd

Yes, you are correct! The answer to 7 raised to the power of -2 is 1/49.

To understand why this is true, let me explain the concept of raising a number to a negative exponent. When you raise a number to a negative exponent, it is the same as taking the reciprocal of the number raised to the positive exponent.

In this case, we have 7^-2. To find the answer, we need to take the reciprocal of 7^2, which is 49. Therefore, 7^-2 is equal to 1/49.

So, option B, 1/49, is the correct answer.

I DO :3
