To predict whether a power will be negative or positive, examine the base and the exponent. If the base is positive, any exponent—whether positive or negative—will yield a positive result. Conversely, if the base is negative, an even exponent results in a positive value, while an odd exponent produces a negative value. Thus, the sign of the power depends on both the sign of the base and whether the exponent is odd or even.
Yes. Any positive number to an exponent is positive.
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.

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.
Yes. Any positive number to an exponent is positive.
When a number is raised to a negative exponent, it is equivalent to its reciprocal raised to the positive exponent. Therefore, x to the power of -7 is equal to 1 divided by x to the power of 7, or 1/x^7.

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).
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)

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.
No it is ten to the negative fourth power. If the number is greater than 1 it is to a positive power, if the number is smaller thann 1 it is to a negative power.
(-3)4 = 81 (positive).
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.
