Well what you do is you do it normally but you turn the answer of the positive it into the denominator of a fraction and a one as the numerator.
for example -10 to the 4 power is 1/10,000

P.S. im 12 and just learned this 2 weeks ago myself. lol
A number to a negative exponent is the inverse of the number to the positive exponent. That is, x-a = 1/xa
No, a number raised to a negative exponent is less than 1. When a number is raised to a negative exponent, it is inverted and the exponent becomes positive. This means that the value of the number decreases as the exponent becomes more negative.
If you have a negative exponent, then put 1/the number multiplied by itself the number of times of the exponent. For example: 3-2=1/(3x3)=1/9
A number with a negative exponent should be treated as the reciprocal of that same number with the analogous positive exponent. For example, 42 = 16, but 4-2 = 1/42 = 1/16.
Yes, an exponent can be a negative number. When a base is raised to a negative exponent, it is equivalent to taking the reciprocal of the base raised to the positive exponent. For example, ( a^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n} ) where ( a ) is a non-zero number and ( n ) is a positive integer. This concept is commonly used in mathematics to simplify expressions and solve equations.

Because a number to the exponent 0 = 1 and any lesser exponent decreases the value.
If you have a negative exponent, then put 1/the number multiplied by itself the number of times of the exponent. For example: 3-2=1/(3x3)=1/9
A negative exponent is the reciprocal of the corresponding positive exponent. 102 = 100 10-2 = 1/100
A number with a negative exponent should be treated as the reciprocal of that same number with the analogous positive exponent. For example, 42 = 16, but 4-2 = 1/42 = 1/16.
That number becomes an exponent. For example, 5 to the -2 power is 1/25

When you subtract it from a bigger exponent of another number by dividing two numbers with exponents.
It will become a positive number.
it would be a negative multiplied by a negative and your answer should end up positive.
turn the positive number into its recipricol and the put the number of the negative number on the top
