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
What is a number that is being raised to a power called?
An exponent.
How do you spell exponent?
That is the correct spelling of "exponent" (an advocate, or the numerical power to which a number or variable is raised)
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 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 6 to the negative 2nd power as a fraction?
When a number is raised to a negative exponent, it means the reciprocal of that number raised to the positive exponent. So, 6 to the negative 2nd power is equivalent to 1/(6^2), which simplifies to 1/36. Therefore, 6 to the negative 2nd power as a fraction is 1/36.
When is the exponent positive?
An exponent is positive when the number being raised to that exponent is greater than 0. For example, in the expression 2^3, the exponent is positive because 2 is a positive number.
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 :)
What is the smallest raised number in a power that tells how many times the base is used as a factor?
The exponent.
