What is a positive integer exponent?
An exponent that is a positive integer. For example, x3 has a positive exponent, while 8-5 does not.
Evaluate the powers of 10 and a exponent of positive 4?
You evaluate the powers of 10 and a exponent of positive 4.
How do you raise anumber to a negative exponent?
A number to a negative exponent is the inverse of the number to the positive exponent. That is, x-a = 1/xa
How can an expression with a negative exponent be changed into one with a positive exponent?
Say it with a lot of sarcasm.
What happens to a negative number with a positive exponent?
It will become a positive number.
What does it mean when an exponent is a negative number?
A negative exponent is the reciprocal of the corresponding positive exponent. 102 = 100 10-2 = 1/100
What is a positive integer exponent?
An exponent that is a positive integer. For example, x3 has a positive exponent, while 8-5 does not.
Meanning of positive exponent?
An exponent is the power that a number is raised to. For instance, in the expression 3^2 ("three squared"), 2 is the "exponent" and 3 is the "base." A positive exponent just means that the power is a positive number. For instance, the following expression does not involve a positive exponent: 3^(-2). Horses rule!!!!!
What does it mean to have a positive exponent?
An exponent tells how many times the base is used as a factor. 10^3 = 10 x 10 x 10
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.
Evaluate the powers of 10 and a exponent of positive 4?
You evaluate the powers of 10 and a exponent of positive 4.
What is a positive exponent?

What does a negative exponent mean?
"Dose" is a measured portion of a medicine. I am not aware of any exponents that have anything to do with measured quantities of medication! A negative exponent is simply the reciprocal of the corresponding positive exponent. Thus x^(-a) = (1/x)^a for non-zero x.
What does a positive exponent mean used in scientific notation?
A positive exponent means that decimals are added to the right of the base number. So 10 X 53 would be 5000. 10 X 5-3 would be .0005
When rewriting an exponential expression with a negative exponent and a positive base to an expression containing only a positive exponent does the sign of the base change?
No.
