How do you solve a positive number with a negative exponent?
turn the positive number into its recipricol and the put the number of the negative number on the top
How do you predict whether a power will be negative or positive?
To predict whether a power will be negative or positive, examine the base and the exponent. If the base is positive, any exponent—whether positive or negative—will yield a positive result. Conversely, if the base is negative, an even exponent results in a positive value, while an odd exponent produces a negative value. Thus, the sign of the power depends on both the sign of the base and whether the exponent is odd or even.
How do you raise anumber to a negative exponent?
A number to a negative exponent is the inverse of the number to the positive exponent. That is, x-a = 1/xa
When squaring a negative number if the factor is a negative and the exponent is positive will your answer be negative or positive?
If you square any real number it will always be positive.
What happens to a negative number with a positive exponent?
It will become a positive number.

What is the Definition of negative exponents?
A negative exponent simply means that the base is on the wrong side of the fraction line.For example, if you have x-2, you can turn this into a positive exponent by moving the base to the denominator and changing the sign on the exponent. The result would be:1--x2
What does it mean when an exponent is a negative number?
A negative exponent is the reciprocal of the corresponding positive exponent. 102 = 100 10-2 = 1/100
When squaring a negative number if the factor is a negative and the exponent is positive will your answer be negative or positive?
If you square any real number it will always be positive.
What happens to a negative number with a positive exponent?
It will become a positive number.
How can an expression with a negative exponent be changed into one with a positive exponent?
Say it with a lot of sarcasm.
Why do you move a negative exponent to the other side of the fraction?
This is a procedure used to help people who are new to negative exponents. A negative exponent, when moved to the other side of the fraction, becomes a positive exponent and beginners are more comfortable with working with positive fractions.
How do you change a negative exponents to positive?
To change a negative exponent to a positive one, you take the reciprocal of the base raised to the positive exponent. For example, ( a^{-n} ) can be rewritten as ( \frac{1}{a^n} ), where ( a ) is the base and ( n ) is the positive exponent. This rule applies to any non-zero base.
Does the variable a with the exponent negative n equal 1 over a with the exponent of a positive n?
Yes.
What do you have to do to evaluate a negative exponent?
Find the reciprocal of the positive exponent. Thus, x-a = 1/xa
When rewriting an exponential expression with a negative exponent and a positive base to an expression containing only a positive exponent does the sign of the base change?
No.
