Why can an exponent be a fraction or decimal?
Why not? An exponent is just like any other number.
How do you write ten to the negative 6 power as a fraction with an exponent and as a decimal?
10-6 = (1/10)6 = 0.000 001
What if the problem is a fraction with a negative exponent?
Flip the fraction top-to-bottom, and delete the minus sign from the exponent.
Can you have a fraction as an exponent?
Yes.
Why is a negitave exponent put into fraction form?
A negative exponent is put into fraction form because it is a way of writing powers of fractions or decimals.

What is the reciprocal of a negative exponent when the exponent is a fraction?
The reciprocal of a^(-x/y) is 1/a^(x/y). The fact that the exponent is a fraction makes no difference.

Why is a number to a negative exponent a fraction?
Because a number to the exponent 0 = 1 and any lesser exponent decreases the value.
HOW DO convert scientific notation to decimalnumbers?
The exponent tells you how many spaces to move the decimal, remember to add zeros as needed. If the exponent is negative make it a decimal number less than one by moving the decimal to the left. If the exponent is positive make the decimal number greater than one by moving the decimal to the right.
How do you convert numbers into forms?
See the related link about Standard Form. Standard form involves moving the decimal point so that there is only one non-zero digit to the left of the decimal point, then multiplying by an appropriate power of ten. If you moved the decimal point to the left, then the exponent of ten will be positive. If you moved the decimal point to the right, then the exponent of ten will be negative. The value of the exponent is equal to the number of places that the decimal is moved.Example:105 = 1.05 x 102 (the decimal was moved 2 places to the left).00356 = 3.56 x 10-3 (the decimal was moved 3 places to the right)
