A number to a negative exponent is the inverse of the number to the positive exponent. That is, x-a = 1/xa
Example(4)2 ( 3)first you take care of the exponent(16)(3)then you times the other numbersYou might mean what happens when you raise and exponent to a power?You multiply the the exponents.
To raise a number to an exponent means to multiply it by itself as many times as the specified exponent. For example: 23 or "two to the power of three" is the same as 2 × 2 × 2 35 or "three to the power of five" is the same as 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 y2 or "y to the power of two" (or "y squared") means y × y
I am not entirely sure what you mean: If you raise something to a power, you automatically have an exponent.(-5) to the power (-1) is the reciprocal of (-5) to the power 1, so you have 1 / (-5), or -1/5.
if there is no exponent shown, then the exponent is 1. ex: 41

That number is automatically 1.

#include <math.h> and link to the math library, then you can use pow(base, exponent).
Use the exponent symbol (^). Example: 3 to the 4th power is 3^4.
The expression 4x4x4x4x4 can be written in index notation as 4^5, where the base is 4 and the exponent is 5. When you raise a number to an exponent, it means multiplying the base by itself the number of times indicated by the exponent. Therefore, 4^5 is equal to 1024.

In the simplest case - a positive integer exponent - the exponent is an indicator of how often a number should be used as a factor. For example, 25 means that the number 2 should appear five times as a factor: 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2. Exponentiation is also defined for an exponent of zero, negative exponents, and fractional exponents, but be sure to understand this simplest case first.
