Do you know why aa positive number is not equal to 0^- # is less that 1, but it is not negative? For example 5^-2= 1/25. I think this it's basically talking about exponents. Yes, I know it sounds very difficult, but it really isn't. When you get a negative exponent, you put a one over the oringinal number.
For example 5^-2= 1/25. You get this by doing the original problem, so in this case, you multiply 5^2. Then you put a 1 over your answer which, for this problem, you would get 25. After placing the one, you get the answer 1/25. This is because the exponent was negative.
