How do you solve an exponent?
An exponent means "this many times." So, 4 cubed (to the power of 3; a 3 exponent.) is 4 NOT times 3, but 3 TIMES. So it is 4x4x4(=64). Or, 5 to the power of 5 is 5 times itself 5 times, so, 5x5x5x5x5(=3,125). 3 to the power of 9 is 3 times itself 9 times. Basically, the exponent tells how many times you multiply the number by itself. Does that help?
What is the negative exponent law?
If you have a negative exponent, then put 1/the number multiplied by itself the number of times of the exponent. For example: 3-2=1/(3x3)=1/9
Where is the negative exponent key on a calculator?
negative 4 with negative 3 as an exponent
How do a make a fraction into a negative exponent?
Any non-zero fraction is the same as its reciprocal raised to the power of -1.So 3/4 = (4/3)-1 and there you have your negative exponent!

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 is the simple expressions of two y exponent of 3 times negative two x with exponent of negative one times three y to the exponent of four?
2y3 * (-2)x-1 * 3y4 = 2*(-2)*3*(1/x)*y3*y4 = -12y7/x
How do you factor with an exponent to the power of 4?
The exponent tells how many times the base is used as a factor. Three to the fourth power is 3 x 3 x 3 x 3
What is 3.43 times 10 to the negative exponent 3?
3.43*10-3 = 3.43/1000 = 0.00343
What must you turn a negative exponent problem into?
A negative exponent is 1 over the base to the power of the absolute value of the exponent. For example 2 to the power of -1 is 1/2, 2 to the power of -2 is 1/4, or (1/2) squared, and 2 to the power of -3 is 1/8, or (1/2) cubed.
What is the exponent for 3 times 2 times 3?
2 3 x 2 Three to the second power times two
What is 2 to the third power times the exponent 3?
23*3 = 29 = 512
