It is: -6-1 = -1/6
-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
Say it with a lot of sarcasm.
6-3 =1/63 =1/216
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.

A number to a negative exponent is the inverse of the number to the positive exponent. That is, x-a = 1/xa
