That depends what you want to solve. In many cases, it helps to remember the basic definition: for example, x ^ (-3) = 1 / x ^ 3. (Using the symbol "^" for powers.)
turn the positive number into its recipricol and the put the number of the negative number on the top
A negative exponent is simply the reciprocal of the positive exponent. So simply remove the negative sign and find the reciprocal. Thus, for example, 5-3 = 1/53 = 1/125
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.
To solve a power, you raise a base number to an exponent by multiplying the base by itself as many times as indicated by the exponent. For example, (a^n) means you multiply (a) by itself (n) times. If the exponent is zero, the value is 1, and if the exponent is negative, you take the reciprocal of the base raised to the positive exponent. Using these rules, you can simplify and calculate the value of powers efficiently.

A negative exponent is simply the reciprocal of the positive exponent. So simply remove the negative sign and find the reciprocal. Thus, for example, 5-3 = 1/53 = 1/125
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)
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.
Exponent is repeated multiplication

Polynomials cannot have negative exponent.
the exponent is a negative
To get something to a negative power, first you must put it on the opposite side of the fraction it would be on currently. Also, when you do this, you switch the negative exponent to a positive exponent. 13^-2 1 = 1 13^2 Solve. 1 169 = 13^-2
A number to a negative exponent is the inverse of the number to the positive exponent. That is, x-a = 1/xa
A negative exponent is the reciprocal of the corresponding positive exponent. 102 = 100 10-2 = 1/100
A negative exponent implies a reciprocal.Thus x^-a = 1/x^a or, equivalently, (1/x)^a
