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.
How do you identify the base and exponent in the expression negative eight to the fifteenth power?

Can monomials have negative exponents?
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.
