What thus the negative exponent denote?
For example, 10 to the power -5 means the same as 1 divided by (10 to the power 5). In general, you can interpret negative exponents this way, with reciprocals.
What is 3 with -2 exponent?
5
What is the answer if the problem is 1 over 2 with a negative 5 exponent?
(1/2)-5 = 32
How do you solve negative integral exponents?
A negative exponent is simply the reciprocal of the positive exponent. So simply remove the negative sign and find the reciprocal. Thus, for example, 5-3 = 1/53 = 1/125
What are negative intergery exponents?
I assume you mean "negative integer exponents".It means that: * It is an exponent * It is an integer (whole number) * It is negative (less than zero, i.e., with a minus sign) A negative exponent is defined as the reciprocal of the positive exponent. For example, 10 to the power -5 is the same as 1 / (10 to the power 5).

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)

(1/2)-5 = 32
What happens if your number has a negative exponent?
That number becomes an exponent. For example, 5 to the -2 power is 1/25

What do you do to a number with a negative exponent?
Basically do the same thing you would with a positive exponent. However, the difference with negatives is that it will be a fraction with 1 over whatever the exponent comes out to. The negative just tells you to flip the position of the exponent from the numerator to the denominator. For example if you have 5-2, it would become 1/52, which would then become 1/25. Also, if you have a negative exponent in your denominator, you would flip it up to the numerator. For example if you have 1/5-2, it would become 52, which would then be 25.
What is 5 with an exponent of negative 2?
-25
How do you rewrite five to the negative 4Th power so that the exponent is positive?
5-4 = 1/54 = (1/5)4 or 0.24
How do you calculate a negative power such as 5 to the negative 5 power?
It is equivalent to 1 over 5 to the power of 5, or 1 over 3125.
What is 5 squared times 5 negative squared?
A negative exponent requires that you place the number in a fraction, for example, 5-2 = 1/5. 6-2=1/6 so your equation should be, 52 X 1/5, or 25 X1/5 which is 5.
