Is a exponent a number with a plus or - sign?
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.
What do Negative exponents indicate?
Raising a number to a negative exponent gives you the reciprocal of the same number raised to the corresponding positive exponent. For example, 32 = 9, so 3-2 = 1/9
Why do whole numbers raised to an exponent get greater and greater while fractions raised to an exponent get smaller?
Whole numbers raised to an exponent increase because multiplying a whole number by itself repeatedly results in a larger product. Conversely, fractions (a number less than one) raised to an exponent get smaller because each multiplication reduces the value further; for example, multiplying 0.5 by itself yields 0.25, which is less than 0.5. Thus, the behavior of whole numbers and fractions under exponentiation is fundamentally different due to their values relative to one.
What is the number that is raised to a power called?
an exponent
How can you. Evaluate a nonzero number with a negative integer exponent?
To evaluate a nonzero number with a negative integer exponent, you can use the rule that states ( a^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n} ), where ( a ) is the nonzero number and ( n ) is the positive integer. For example, ( 2^{-3} ) can be evaluated as ( \frac{1}{2^3} = \frac{1}{8} ). This method effectively converts the negative exponent into a positive one by taking the reciprocal of the base raised to the corresponding positive exponent.
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.

What is 9 with exponent -2?

What do Negative exponents indicate?

What is x to the negative 7th power?
When a number is raised to a negative exponent, it is equivalent to its reciprocal raised to the positive exponent. Therefore, x to the power of -7 is equal to 1 divided by x to the power of 7, or 1/x^7.
When is the exponent positive?
When the number is very large 1.0 x 10^6 is 1 million.
What is a negative exponent?
When you have a number raised to a negative exponent, you move to the left rather than the right in decimal places. E.g. 103 = 1000 10-3 = 0.001 More specifically, when you have a negative exponent, you are taking the reciprocal of what the positive exponent would give. 24 = 16, but 2-4=(1/16) ■
What is 0.1 as a negative exponent?
Anything to the power of a negative number is equal to one divided that "anything" raised to the positive value of the exponent. For example:a-b = 1/ abSo you can think of this by expressing the number as a fraction. Consider, what is 0.1 as a fraction? The answer is 1/10. This means that when expressed as an exponent, it would be 10-1.
What is 5 to the power of negative 1?
When a number is raised to a negative exponent, it means the reciprocal of that number raised to the positive exponent. Therefore, 5 to the power of -1 is equal to 1/5, or 0.2. This is because any number raised to the power of -1 is the multiplicative inverse of that number, which is the reciprocal.
When a number is raised to a power what is it called?
The power could then be called an exponent. The number that is being raised to a power is called the base. In the case of 42, the exponent is 2 and the base is 4.

What is the number that is raised to and exponent?
its called a base :)
