The exponents in the terms of a polynomial must be?
why the exponents can not be negative
How to solve integer exponents?
Positive exponents: an = a*a*a*...*a where there are n (>0) lots of a. Negative exponents: a-n = 1/(a*a*a*...*a) where there are n (>0) lots of a.
What are negative exponents written as?
They can be written as reciprocals with positive exponents. For example, 5-7 = (1/5)7
What is a negative multiplied by a negative?
negative*negative=positive negative/positive=negative negative\negative=positve negative-positive=change the sign to a plus and then change the number after the sign and get your answer negative +positive=which ever numbr is bigger minus positive+positive=positive
How do you find the product or quotient using positive exponents when you have negative ones?
Change the number or variable with the exponent from the numerator to the denominator, or from the denominator to the numerator, and at the same time change the exponent from negative to positive. For example, 5-3 = 1/53, and 1/x-10 = x10.
