A negative exponent or power is equivalent to the reciprocal of the positive exponent. 2-4 = 1/24 = 1/16 = 0.0625
Take your number to the exponent (1/4). Example: Fourth root of 16. 16^ (1/4) = 2
yes it can if the exponent is 1.

1, if the exponent is not shown.
An exponent is 1; 16 = 16^1
4-1 = 1/4 = 0.25
When you have a negative exponent on, say, 4, it will be written 4^-2 You basically take the reciprocal of it and change the exponent to a positive one. 4^-2 would be 1/4^2
4
-1
An expression with a negative exponent is equivalent to the positive exponent of its reciprocal. Thus, 3-4 = 1/34 or, equivalently, (1/3)4 or (3/4)-2 = (4/3)2
It is (1/3)^(-4) or (1/27)^(-4/3)
The end result would be the # you started with ie. 4^1=4 25^1=25
Any non-zero fraction is the same as its reciprocal raised to the power of -1.So 3/4 = (4/3)-1 and there you have your negative exponent!
Any non-zero fraction is the same as its reciprocal raised to the power of -1.So 3/4 = (4/3)-1 and there you have your negative exponent!
16y3 / 20y4 = 16/20 * y3/y4 = 4/5 * y3-4 = 4/5 * y-1 or 4/5y
4 is the base, 2 is the exponent.
