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
When squaring a negative number if the factor is a negative and the exponent is positive will your answer be negative or positive?
If you square any real number it will always be positive.
How do you solve a positive number with a negative exponent?
turn the positive number into its recipricol and the put the number of the negative number on the top
Is 10 to the negative 4th power a positive number?
Yes. Any positive number to an exponent is positive.
What do you do when you have a negative number to a negative exponent?
it would be a negative multiplied by a negative and your answer should end up positive.

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

How do you change negative exponets to positive exponents?
A negative exponent of a number is the same as the reciprocal of that same number to the equivalent positive exponent.EXAMPLE : 2-3 = 1/23When multiplying powers of the same base the rule is, addthe exponents.So, if the initial exponent is negative then the number has to be multiplied by a power of that number with an equivalent positive exponent greater than the negative exponent.EXAMPLE : 2-3 x 25 = 2(-3+5) = 22 (As 5 > l3l then the resultant exponent is positive)
What are the rules for a number with a negative exponent?
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.
What happens if your number has a negative exponent?
That number becomes an exponent. For example, 5 to the -2 power is 1/25
Is a number raised to a negative exponent greater than 1?
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.
What is negative exponent?
It's a number up and just to the right of the bigger first number. If its. 3 2 Then you multiply it like 2 times 2times 2 With negative exponent you switch it from negative to positive every other one starting with negative. We do this because a negative and a negative multiplied together equal a positive and a positive times a negative is negative. -123771
What happens when you divide a negative number by a positive number?
