3^2 = 9
3^-2 = 1/9
Then, if the exponent is a positive integer, the value is 1 multiplied by the base repeatedly, exponent times. If the exponent is a negative integer then it is the reciprocal of the above value.In either case, it is NOT the base multiplied by itself an exponent number of times.
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).
An exponent that is a positive integer. For example, x3 has a positive exponent, while 8-5 does not.
Not necessarily. Every exponent in the exponent must be a non-negative integer. This is not what you have specified. For example, if n = 3.5, it is not a term in a polynomial expression.
Since there are no specifications --- Positive integer: 102 Positive rational number: 0.12 Negative integer: -987 Negative exponent: -87^9
The index or the exponent - but only if it is a non-negative integer.
negative 4 with negative 3 as an exponent
Polynomials cannot have negative exponent.
the exponent is a negative
a negative integer

Yes. The product of a negative integer and a positive integer is a negative integer.
