A decimal.
No, if you shift the decimal point to the left, the exponent of base 10 is positive. The exponent of base 10 is negative if you shift the decimal point to the right.
You look at the denominator first. Then you try to find out what exponents make the denominator. After doing that, you add a negative symbol to the smaller number on the exponent.
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.
9.72 x 10-5 You put the decimal behind the first digit. Then count the number of places the decimal moved from its original position. This number becomes the exponent of the 10. If you move the decimal to the left, it is a positive number for the exponent. To the right, it is a negative exponent.

They are called positive integers or whole numbers

negative 0.5 to the power of negative 2 is 4 Answer: (-0.5)-2 = 4 as a decimal. Exponents Calculator Please enter the base (b) and a exponent (n) to calculate bn: to the power of = ? Calculate Answer: (-0.5)-2 = 4 as a decimal.
When you have a number raised to a negative exponent, you move to the left rather than the right in decimal places. E.g. 103 = 1000 10-3 = 0.001 More specifically, when you have a negative exponent, you are taking the reciprocal of what the positive exponent would give. 24 = 16, but 2-4=(1/16) ■
9.72 x 10-5 You put the decimal behind the first digit. Then count the number of places the decimal moved from its original position. This number becomes the exponent of the 10. If you move the decimal to the left, it is a positive number for the exponent. To the right, it is a negative exponent.
2400 = 2.4 x 10^3 0.0024 = 2.4 x 10^-3 Move the decimal to the left, positive exponent. Move the decimal to the right, negative exponent.
When you have a negative exponent (for example 3^-3) you could make the recipricol of the number. So, this would be 1/3^3. Then all that you would have to do is solve for the exponent ( so in this case the answer would be 1/27)
