The parens are not technically needed there, but they don't hurt anything.
x = 1;
2^-x
And to be honest, I usually put a parens in something like that myself just to make it easier to read. Sometimes spare parens make things more clear, and sometimes they just create a confusing mess, creating a parenthetical balancing act.
