-6^-2 = 1/36
Say it with a lot of sarcasm.
negative 4 with negative 3 as an exponent
the exponent is a negative
When you have a negative exponent on, say, 4, it will be written 4^-2 You basically take the reciprocal of it and change the exponent to a positive one. 4^-2 would be 1/4^2
Its exponent: which is -6.
19
-6^-2 = 1/36
6-3 =1/63 =1/216
Say it with a lot of sarcasm.
One over one hundred billion in a negative exponent would be 1 x 10-9
negative 4 with negative 3 as an exponent
Example: (4x)-2 The answer to this would be 1/ 16x2. Multiply it out as if the negative exponent was not there ((4x)2), then that will be the denominator of the fraction. The numerator is one.
Polynomials cannot have negative exponent.
the exponent is a negative
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 you have a negative exponent on, say, 4, it will be written 4^-2 You basically take the reciprocal of it and change the exponent to a positive one. 4^-2 would be 1/4^2
