Ignore the moron's view of things above. Well, cause it's a moron's view of things.
A negative exponent just means that the base is on the wrong side of the fraction line, so you need to give the base to the other side of the line. For instance, "x-2" just means the reciprocal of "x2" ,"1/(x2)".

Can monomials have negative exponents?
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!
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.
