put the number under one and make the power positive... like this
3-3 = 1/33
x-2 = 1/x2
It's impossible. Powers are always either positive or complex.
Oh I hate these! I have quiz tomorrow on them, which stinks. Im in pre-algebra though
the magic powers of turnipthe magic powers of turnip
2 cubed )2^3) is 8, 2 squared (2^2) is 4, and 2 to the negative 1 power is done by thinking of a fraction. We know that any whole number can be made into a fraction, like 2 is 2/1. Well when we have negative exponents, these are solved by putting those numbers to negative powers into the bottom. So (2^-1)/1 would be changed to 1/(2^1) or 1/2. So if we now multiply these three numbers, we get 16.
Rules for exponents to multiply powers, add the exponents to divide powers, subtract the exponents to find a power of a power, multiply the exponents to find a power of a quotient, apply the power top and bottom to find a power pf a product, apply the exponent to each factor in the product x0 = 1 anything to the power zero equals one x-a = 1/xa a negative exponent means "one over" the positive exponent
Negative numbers to even powers will be positive, negative numbers to odd powers will be negative. The answer is -16,384.
Please rewrite. We don't know who "these" people are.
A decimal point is just a point - a full stop. It separates place values with non-negative powers of ten from negative powers of ten. A decimal point has no numerical value.A decimal point is just a point - a full stop. It separates place values with non-negative powers of ten from negative powers of ten.

by doing reciprocal
10, 100, 1000, 10000, ... are the positive powers. 0.1, 0.01, 0.001, ... are negative powers.
No. Negative numbers to even powers are positive.
No, but dimensions can be to negative powers. For example, the dimension for frequency is [T-1].
A negative powers is defined as the reciprocal of the corresponding positive power. For example, 10-3 is the same a 1 / 103.
No. An equilibrium constant is derived from the products, powers, and ratios of the activities (essentially the concentrations) of the species that are in equilibrium. Since there is no such thing as a negative concentration, there is no way their products, powers or ratios can yield a negative number.
Are you talking about negative powers.
The role of the decimal point is as a place holder. The place values of digits to its left are non-negative powers of ten while those to the right are negative powers of ten.
That is the definition of negative powers.
