Is 10 to the negative 4th power a positive number?

Yes. Any positive number to an exponent is positive.


What is 3m to the negative forth power?

It is the same as 1/34 . We move an exponent to the denominator and we change the exponent from positive to negative. Now 34 is 81 so the answer is 1/81 meters.If the exponent in the denominator is negative, we can move it up to the numerator and change it to a positive.


What is x to the negative 7th power?

When we have x to a negative exponent we can move the x to the denominator and make the exponent positive. So x-7 is the same as 1/x7


How do you write six to the negative fourth power as a positive exponent?

one over six to the fourth


Is a exponent a number with a plus or - sign?

You fail SO badly. If we have x^4, the 4 is the exponent- the power to which a number is raised. It can be positive or negative.


What are negative intergery exponents?

I assume you mean "negative integer exponents".It means that: * It is an exponent * It is an integer (whole number) * It is negative (less than zero, i.e., with a minus sign) A negative exponent is defined as the reciprocal of the positive exponent. For example, 10 to the power -5 is the same as 1 / (10 to the power 5).


How do you change negative exponets to positive exponents?

A negative exponent of a number is the same as the reciprocal of that same number to the equivalent positive exponent.EXAMPLE : 2-3 = 1/23When multiplying powers of the same base the rule is, addthe exponents.So, if the initial exponent is negative then the number has to be multiplied by a power of that number with an equivalent positive exponent greater than the negative exponent.EXAMPLE : 2-3 x 25 = 2(-3+5) = 22 (As 5 > l3l then the resultant exponent is positive)


Why is a negative exponent minus a positive exponent a negative exponent?

when you're doing a problem like that use this trick. let's say you have 3 to the -7 power minus 3 to the 4 power. -7 - 4 can also be shown as -7 + -4. i switched the minus sign to a plus sign and because i did that, i had to switch the positive 4 to a negative 4. so i got 3 to the -7 power plus 3 to the -4 power.

What thus the negative exponent denote?

For example, 10 to the power -5 means the same as 1 divided by (10 to the power 5). In general, you can interpret negative exponents this way, with reciprocals.


What is thirteen to the negative two power?

To get something to a negative power, first you must put it on the opposite side of the fraction it would be on currently. Also, when you do this, you switch the negative exponent to a positive exponent. 13^-2 1 = 1 13^2 Solve. 1 169 = 13^-2


Meanning of positive exponent?

An exponent is the power that a number is raised to. For instance, in the expression 3^2 ("three squared"), 2 is the "exponent" and 3 is the "base." A positive exponent just means that the power is a positive number. For instance, the following expression does not involve a positive exponent: 3^(-2). Horses rule!!!!!
