if you divide a number with exponents bye a number with exponents you subtract the exponents. For example A^6 / A^4 = A^2 We get this because A^6 is A*A*A*A*A*A over A*A*A*A The four A's cancel out four of the A's on top so you are left with two A's so the answer is A^2
y-3y-2=? is what you're asking? Just add the exponents, ?=y-5 I love me some exponentials!
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..
Fractional exponents follow the same rules as integral exponents. Integral exponents are numbers raised to an integer power.
Add the exponents

If the exponent is an even number, then yes, because exponents are basically repeated division and negatives always cancel each other out in division. However if the exponent is an odd number, the number will remain negative, because they can't form even pairs to cancel one another out.
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.

The laws of exponents work the same with rational exponents, the difference being they use fractions not integers.
In algebraic equations, exponents can contain variables. They can be solved for by using logarithmic rules for exponents.
When multiplying something with exponents, you add it. When dividing something with exponents, you subtract it.
You can have negative exponents anywhere. When they are in the denominator, they are equivalent to positive exponents in the numerator of a fraction.
