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
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.
What is a number that is being raised to a power called?
An 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?
11
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
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 a power called?
an exponent
What is the number that is raised to and exponent?
its called a base :)
