If the exponent is an even number you can drop the negative, because is you were to multiply it out the negatives would cancel out.
25 x 32
As a product of its prime factors in exponents: 2^7 = 128
As a product of its prime factors expressed in exponents it is: 23*33 = 216
Divide both numbers by 9 and it is 3/5.
it is used to simplify large numbers
If you're multiplying numbers with exponents, add the exponents. 32 x 33 = 35 If you're raising exponents to a power, multiply the exponents. 3 squared to the third power = 36
If the exponent is an even number you can drop the negative, because is you were to multiply it out the negatives would cancel out.
you do not do anything when you add numbers with exponents. you just figure out the answer. it is only if you multiply numbers with exponents, where you add the exponents..
Exponents are numbers that simplify the amount of times a number multiplies by itself. For example, 5^3 would be equal to 5x5x5 which equals 125. In that same number, 5 would be the base and 3 would be the exponent, (aka) the little number on the top right of another number. And yes, exponents CAN have exponents.

Fractional exponents follow the same rules as integral exponents. Integral exponents are numbers raised to an integer power.
Exponents can simplify very ugly math problems and their relation to logarithms makes them invaluable. FYI logarithms were invented before exponents.
All numbers can be expressed using exponents.
Exponents can be used to simplify notation when the same factor is repeated
Numbers written without exponents are called Standard Form.
