2y3 * (-2)x-1 * 3y4 = 2*(-2)*3*(1/x)*y3*y4 = -12y7/x
When you subtract it from a bigger exponent of another number by dividing two numbers with exponents.
meter exponent two...
negative 4 with negative 3 as an exponent
Polynomials cannot have negative exponent.
the exponent is a negative
A number to a negative exponent is the inverse of the number to the positive exponent. That is, x-a = 1/xa
A negative exponent is the reciprocal of the corresponding positive exponent. 102 = 100 10-2 = 1/100
Negative two times three is negative six.
No it doesn't. A negative exponent moves the decimal place in the other direction. So while 10 to the power of two is 10 times 10 or 100 10-2 = 1/(102) = 1/100 = 0.01
A negative exponent implies a reciprocal.Thus x^-a = 1/x^a or, equivalently, (1/x)^a
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.
