One way is to multiply through by the reciprocal of the term with the largest negative exponent.
eg if you have x-2 + 3x-1 + 5 = 0 then multiplying through by x2 will give
1 + 3x + 5x2 = 0, a standard quadratic.
But be careful about division by zero (or multiplication by 1/0 !!)

How do exponents help in math?
Exponents can simplify very ugly math problems and their relation to logarithms makes them invaluable. FYI logarithms were invented before exponents.
CAn someone help me with my radical equations?
There are several good websites to find help with radical equations. You tube has several good videos on radical equations that are free of charge.
How would you equate equations with exponents to zero?
I am not entirely sure what kind of equation you want to solve. Anyway, if an expression has an exponent of zero, the entire expression is usually equal to 1 (unless you raise zero to the power zero; that's undefined). Perhaps that can help you simplify the expression. For example: if you have an equation such as (x+y+z)0 + 5x + 3 = 10 The entire left expression, (x+y+z)0 can be replaced with 1, thus simplifying the equation.
What is the prime factorization of 12 using exponents?

Why do you have exponents?
exponents are a shorter way of expressing a number multiplied by itself repeatedly. For instance 2*2*2*2*2*2*2 could be expressed as 27 instead. Also as you go on later in math exponents in equations can serve to help with derivatives and quadratics but guessing by the nature of your question you only needed the first part.
Why do you move a negative exponent to the other side of the fraction?
This is a procedure used to help people who are new to negative exponents. A negative exponent, when moved to the other side of the fraction, becomes a positive exponent and beginners are more comfortable with working with positive fractions.

How does knowing factors help you simplify fractions?
Knowing factors will help you find a GCF. To simplify a fraction, divide the numerator and the denominator by their GCF.

How can equations and inequalities help a business maximize profit or minimize costs?
Equations and inequalities help maximize profit in a business by simultaneously optimizing the growth and profitability.
How do you rewrite expressions with rational exponent as radical exponent?
In this tutorial we are going to combine two ideas that have been discussed in earlier tutorials: exponents and radicals. We will look at how to rewrite, simplify and evaluate these expressions that contain rational exponents. What it boils down to is if you have a denominator in your exponent, it is your index or root number. So, if you need to, review radicals covered in Tutorial 37: Radicals. Also, since we are working with fractional exponents and they follow the exact same rules as integer exponents, you will need to be familiar with adding, subtracting, and multiplying them. If fractions get you down you may want to go to Beginning Algebra Tutorial 3: Fractions. To review exponents, you can go to Tutorial 23: Exponents and Scientific Notation Part I andTutorial 24: Exponents and Scientific Notation Part II. Let's move onto rational exponents and roots.After completing this tutorial, you should be able to:Rewrite a rational exponent in radical notation.Simplify an expression that contains a rational exponent.Use rational exponents to simplify a radical expression.These are practice problems to help bring you to the next level. It will allow you to check and see if you have an understanding of these types of problems. Math works just like anything else, if you want to get good at it, then you need to practice it. Even the best athletes and musicians had help along the way and lots of practice, practice, practice, to get good at their sport or instrument. In fact there is no such thing as too much practice.To get the most out of these, you should work the problem out on your own and then check your answer by clicking on the link for the answer/discussion for that problem. At the link you will find the answer as well as any steps that went into finding that answer.
