What do exponents mean?
exponents are the little numbers on top of a big number. It means you have to mulitply that number by itself that many times. if the exponent is 6, and the number is 8, you have to do 8 times 8 6 times. 86 That small number six is that exponent.
What are the different kinds of laws of exponent?
The exponent of a number says how many times to use the number in a multiplication.In this example: 82 8 × 8= 64
What is the product of a negative number with an exponent and a positive number?
The result is a negative number which may or may not have an exponent. For example, -2*102 times 4 = -8*102 -2*102 times 0.04 = -8
What is the negative exponent law?
If you have a negative exponent, then put 1/the number multiplied by itself the number of times of the exponent. For example: 3-2=1/(3x3)=1/9
How do you solve when you have a negative exponent?
A negative exponent is the same as 1/(the positive exponent). For example, 2^3 is (2*2*2) = 8. 2^(-3) is 1/(2*2*2) = 1/8. So, just calculate the positive exponent version, and put it under 1.
