A negative exponent is simply the reciprocal of the positive equivalent.
For example 3-2 = 1/32 = 1/9
Deon Jast
99 = 32*11
32 x 11 = 99
It is: 32*111 = 99
3^34*22^1
Prime factors of 99 in exponents: 32 and 11 Prime factors of 18 in exponents: 2 and 32 Mutiply all the highest prime factors: 2*32*11 = 198 which is the least common multiple of 99 and 18
99 = 32*1199 = 32*1199 = 32*1199 = 32*11
The exponents are added.
you do not do anything when you add numbers with exponents. you just figure out the answer. it is only if you multiply numbers with exponents, where you add the exponents..
Fractional exponents follow the same rules as integral exponents. Integral exponents are numbers raised to an integer power.
Add the exponents
The laws of exponents work the same with rational exponents, the difference being they use fractions not integers.
In algebraic equations, exponents can contain variables. They can be solved for by using logarithmic rules for exponents.
