What does the term negative exponent mean in math?
the exponent is a negative
How do you show one billionth using a negative exponent?
One billionth = 10-9
How do you raise anumber to a negative exponent?
A number to a negative exponent is the inverse of the number to the positive exponent. That is, x-a = 1/xa
What repeated operation does anegative exponent show?
A negative exponent indicates repeated division of a number by itself. Specifically, ( a^{-n} ) is equivalent to ( \frac{1}{a^n} ), meaning you take the reciprocal of the base raised to the positive exponent. This operation reflects the concept that negative exponents represent the inverse of the base raised to the corresponding positive exponent.
What does it mean when an exponent is a negative number?
A negative exponent is the reciprocal of the corresponding positive exponent. 102 = 100 10-2 = 1/100
What is the meaning of negative exponent?
A negative exponent implies a reciprocal.Thus x^-a = 1/x^a or, equivalently, (1/x)^a
What do you do when multiplying a positive exponent by a negative exponent?
Example: (4x)-2 The answer to this would be 1/ 16x2. Multiply it out as if the negative exponent was not there ((4x)2), then that will be the denominator of the fraction. The numerator is one.
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
Is a number raised to a negative exponent greater than 1?
No, a number raised to a negative exponent is less than 1. When a number is raised to a negative exponent, it is inverted and the exponent becomes positive. This means that the value of the number decreases as the exponent becomes more negative.
Why doesn't a negative exponent make the answer negative?
A negative exponent indicates the reciprocal of the base raised to the corresponding positive exponent. For example, ( a^{-n} ) is equivalent to ( \frac{1}{a^n} ), which does not inherently change the sign of the base. The base itself determines the sign; thus, if the base is positive, the result will be positive, and if it's negative, the result will be negative, regardless of the exponent's sign.
