You fail SO badly.

If we have x^4, the 4 is the exponent- the power to which a number is raised. It can be positive or negative.

How can the decimal number 175.23 be represented as a sign mantissa and exponent?

To represent the decimal number 175.23 in sign mantissa and exponent form, we first need to convert it into scientific notation. This number can be written as 1.7523 x 10^2. The sign of the mantissa will be positive since the original number is positive. The mantissa will be 1.7523, and the exponent will be 2. Therefore, the representation would be (+1.7523, 2).


Is a number that can be expressed using an exponent?

Every number can be expressed using an exponent. You select a base, b, which should be a positive real number. Suppose the number is x.If this number is negative, then its exponent form will have a negative sign before it.The absolute value of the number is converted to the exponent form by solving x = b^y where y is the exponent. However, you need to know about logarithms before you can do that (and this question suggests that you have not yet progressed to that level of mathematics).


Why is a negative exponent minus a positive exponent a negative exponent?

when you're doing a problem like that use this trick. let's say you have 3 to the -7 power minus 3 to the 4 power. -7 - 4 can also be shown as -7 + -4. i switched the minus sign to a plus sign and because i did that, i had to switch the positive 4 to a negative 4. so i got 3 to the -7 power plus 3 to the -4 power.

What rule allows us to change the sign of an exponent?

1 divided by a number with an exponent is the same as the number to the exponent of opposite sign. For example 1 divided by 2 to the third power is the same as 2 to the minus 3 power


What determines the sign of the exponent when a number is written in scientific notation?

The sign of the exponent for a number written in scientific notation depends on whether it is a whole number or a fraction. 40 is 4 x 101 0.4 is 4 x 10-1

Can you have more than one exponent on top of a number?

Yes, you can, but it starts getting complicated. You can, for example have a number raised to an exponent that is itself a number raised to an exponent, or you can have a number raised to an exponent and the result raised to another exponent.
