If you have 10^-3 then you can consider it the same as (1/10^3) and you have changed the negative exponent to positive exponent. Similarly, if the original number is (1/10^-3), that is equivalent to 10^3. In most cases it is as simple as taking the reciprocal.

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.
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
Why do you have negative exponents?
Negative exponents are used to represent 1 divided by an a base to a specific exponent.
How do you change powers with negative exponents to powers with positive exponents?
by doing reciprocal

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.
The exponents in the terms of a polynomial must be?
why the exponents can not be negative
How will you simplify expressions with negative exponents to get positive exponents?
A negative exponent becomes positive in the reciprocal. So if you have a number a^x where x is negative, then, a^x = 1/(a^-x) and, since x is negative, -x is positive.
How do you figure out negative exponents?
They are the reciprocals of the positive exponents. Thus, x-a = 1/xa

How to solve integer exponents?
Positive exponents: an = a*a*a*...*a where there are n (>0) lots of a. Negative exponents: a-n = 1/(a*a*a*...*a) where there are n (>0) lots of a.
What are negative exponents?
Exactly that ... negative exponents. For example: 1000 = 103 That is a positive exponent. .001 = 10-3 That is a negative exponent. For positive exponents, you move the decimal place that many positions to the right, adding zeros as needed. For negative exponents, you move the decimal place that many positions to the LEFT, adding zeros as needed. And, the special case is this: 100 = 1.
What are negative exponents written as?
They can be written as reciprocals with positive exponents. For example, 5-7 = (1/5)7

What is a negative multiplied by a negative?
negative*negative=positive negative/positive=negative negative\negative=positve negative-positive=change the sign to a plus and then change the number after the sign and get your answer negative +positive=which ever numbr is bigger minus positive+positive=positive
