With a negative exponent, you need to create a fraction. Put the whole expression over one, like this -
(expression)/1 or
(expression)
__________
1.
From there, you need to put the base and negative exponent on the bottom of the fraction with the 1, but turn the exponent into a positive. Hope this helps.
