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?
3
What is positive exponents?
Exponents that are NOT a negative exponent therefore they are mostly whole numbers kind of:)
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. 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.
What are the seven rules for exponents?
Rules for exponents to multiply powers, add the exponents to divide powers, subtract the exponents to find a power of a power, multiply the exponents to find a power of a quotient, apply the power top and bottom to find a power pf a product, apply the exponent to each factor in the product x0 = 1 anything to the power zero equals one x-a = 1/xa a negative exponent means "one over" the positive exponent
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.
When you divide a number with exponents do you add or divide the exponents?
if you divide a number with exponents bye a number with exponents you subtract the exponents. For example A^6 / A^4 = A^2 We get this because A^6 is A*A*A*A*A*A over A*A*A*A The four A's cancel out four of the A's on top so you are left with two A's so the answer is A^2
The exponents in the terms of a polynomial must be?
why the exponents can not be negative
When dividing variables with exponents subtract exponents?
Yes. When you divide one variable with an exponent from another, you subtract the exponents
How do you divide a positive power of ten by a negative power of ten?
You reverse the sign of the power and multiply by adding exponents. Example 10 to the 7 divided by 10 to the negative 6 = 10 to the 13
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
What is -5y-8 with positive exponents?

How do you figure out negative exponents?
They are the reciprocals of the positive exponents. Thus, x-a = 1/xa
What is positive exponents?

How do you solve negative exponents and zero exponents?
Anything with a zero exponent is 1. Positive exponents tell how many times to multiply a base number. Negative exponents tell how many times to divide a base number. Negative exponents are the reciprocals of positive ones. 10^2 = 100 10^1 = 10 10^0 = 1 10^-1 = 1/10 10^-2 = 1/100 3^2 = 9 3^1 = 3 3^0 = 1 3^-1 = 1/3 3^-2 = 1/9
