i have this final tomorrow!
so for example, if the problem is 4-1 [which is the same as (4/1)-1] you find the reciprocal which in this case is 1/4
because it's to the -1st power the numbers dont change because you are multiplying them by one, but here's another example
4-3 = (4/1)-3
here, the first thing you would do is multiply the numerator and denomanator by 3
(12/1)-
and because there is a negative left over, you still need to find the reciprocal.
so the answer is 1/12

How do you express negative exponents as positive exponents while multiplying?
you make it into a fraction by puting whatever the negative exponent is attach to an pu that on the botttom of the fraction and leave a one on top
What is a short cut to answer negative exponents?
Make it a fraction, flip the numerator and denominator, and the exponent is no long negative. For example 4-3 = 1/43 = 1/64
If both the numerator and the denominator are negative does that make the fraction negative?
No!If numerator and denominator have the same signs the fraction is positive.If numerator and denominator have opposite signs the fraction is negative.
If you have a fraction with a negative sign in front of the fraction how do you make it a decimal?
Exact same if there was no negative sign, the number is the number.
In a fraction if the top and bottom numbers are negative does that make the fraction positive?
Yes.

How do you get rid of negative exponents?
Negative exponents indicate that the number for which the exponent applies to should be placed under one. Ex: 2^(-3) also can be expressed as 1/(2^3) or 1/8. So, to eliminate the negative exponent, simply place the number (and the accompanying exponent) under one to make a fraction.
How can you make 50 using exponents?
Yes
Why are negative exponents like a hotline to a chef?
Both are used to make recipecalls.
What is the fraction form of 21x3y2 plus 28xy2?
21x3y2 + 28xy2 just put them both over one and that is the fraction form. you could make the exponents negative but that is just pointless... here it is tho... 21/x-3y-2 + 28/x-1y-2
If both the numerator and the denominator are negative does that make the fraction negative?
No!If numerator and denominator have the same signs the fraction is positive.If numerator and denominator have opposite signs the fraction is negative.

Exact same if there was no negative sign, the number is the number.
How do you make a decimal into a negative exponent?
You look at the denominator first. Then you try to find out what exponents make the denominator. After doing that, you add a negative symbol to the smaller number on the exponent.
In a fraction if the top and bottom numbers are negative does that make the fraction positive?
Yes.
How do you convert a negative mixed number into a decimal?
If you know how to turn a mixed number into a fraction and a fraction into a decimal do that then make it negative.
What does a negative exponent mean?
"Dose" is a measured portion of a medicine. I am not aware of any exponents that have anything to do with measured quantities of medication! A negative exponent is simply the reciprocal of the corresponding positive exponent. Thus x^(-a) = (1/x)^a for non-zero x.
