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

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 is 3.24 e -4 in maths?

What is 2x with the exponent 2 plus 3x plus 1. what is 7n with the exponent 2 plus 9n plus 2. what is 3x with the exponent 2 plus 8x plus 5. what is 7y with the exponent 2 plus 19y plus 10?
The first and third are quadratic expressions in x, the second is a quadratic expressions in n, and the fourth is a quadratic expressions in y. None of them are equations so cannot be solved.
What is the exponent of zero is?
no exponent can make a number equal to zero, however any number with an exponent of zero is one.
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
What is a square unit sign?
The exponent "2" as in a number squared, e.g. cm2 or in2

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.
Is 25 an exponent?
Yes, 25 CAN BE and exponent. Any number can be and exponent

What is the smallest raised number in a power that tells how many times the base is used as a factor?
The exponent.
Is it correct that if the decimal point has moved three places to the right of the number then the exponent you use for the 10 will have a negative sign?
True.
What is the base of an exponent?
The base of an exponent is the main number. For example in 56 the number 5 is the base and 6 is the exponent.
