Yes, monomials can have negative exponents. When a monomial has a negative exponent, it means that the variable or variables in the monomial are in the denominator of the fraction. For example, x^(-2) is equivalent to 1/x^2. Negative exponents indicate that the variable should be moved to the opposite side of the fraction line and the exponent becomes positive.
Oh, dude, totally! Monomials can totally have negative exponents. It's like when you're dealing with fractions, and the negative exponent just chills in the denominator, doing its thing. So yeah, negative exponents are totally cool with monomials.
Monomials can have negative exponents, if the term for the exponent is not a variable, but if it is a variable with a negative exponent, the whole expression will not be classified. This is so because the definition of a monomial states that, a monomial can be a product of a number and one or more variables with positive integer exponents. I hope that answered your question!

Why do you have negative exponents?
Negative exponents are used to represent 1 divided by an a base to a specific exponent.
What is -5y-8 with positive exponents?

What is positive exponents?
Exponents that are NOT a negative exponent therefore they are mostly whole numbers kind of:)
Why are negative exponents like a hotline to a chef?
Both are used to make recipecalls.
How do you Divide negative exponents?
The same way you divide positive exponents like ( x^-7 ) / ( x^-12) = x^( -7 - - 12) = x^( -7+12) = x^5
What are the laws of exponents in dividing monomials?

Monomials are not polynomials?
A polynomial is the sum of one or more terms (monomials). (poly implies many)x2 + 2x, 3x3 + x² + 5x +6, 4x - 6y + 8 A monomial is a single-term algeabric expression. A monomoial is the product of real numbers and variables with non-negative integer powers. Consequently, a monomial has NO variable in its denominator. It has one term. (mono implies one)13, 3x, -57, x², 4y², -2xy, or 520x²y²(notice: no negative exponents, no fractional exponents)*there are also binomials and trinomials
What do you call the sum of two or more monomials or even one monomial whose exponents are whole numbers?
A polynomial.
Can you have negative exponents in the denominator?
You can have negative exponents anywhere. When they are in the denominator, they are equivalent to positive exponents in the numerator of a fraction.
Why do you have negative exponents?
Negative exponents are used to represent 1 divided by an a base to a specific exponent.
Do you have any exponent worksheets?
An exponent is the raised "mini number" above another one that tells you how many times that number must be multiplied with itself. They are closely linked to monomials. Here is a website with lessons on exponents and it even delves into monomials! It contains some worksheets to help you further understand! http://www.algebra-class.com/exponents-lesson.html
The exponents in the terms of a polynomial must be?
why the exponents can not be negative
What is important when dividing monomials?
Divide coefficients and subtract exponents of the same variable. EX: (20 x6) / (4 x2) = 5 x4
Why monomial is not polynomial?
In mathematics, a polynomial is a finite expression made up of variables and constants, by using the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication. The other requirement is the the exponents bet non-negative whole number.A polynomial is the sum of two or more monomials. That is why a monomial is not a polynomial.
When multiplying binomials that turn out negative do you add or subtract exponents?
When multiplying numbers with exponents, you add the exponents.
How do you change powers with negative exponents to powers with positive exponents?
by doing reciprocal
