How do you solve when you have a negative exponent?
A negative exponent is the same as 1/(the positive exponent). For example, 2^3 is (2*2*2) = 8. 2^(-3) is 1/(2*2*2) = 1/8. So, just calculate the positive exponent version, and put it under 1.
What is the product of a negative number with an exponent and a positive number?
The result is a negative number which may or may not have an exponent. For example, -2*102 times 4 = -8*102 -2*102 times 0.04 = -8
What is the exponent of 8 squared?
8^2 = 64 The exponent is 2
Can power be a negative number?
Yes. -2^3, for example, is -8. This question is ambiguous - the questioner may mean "can the exponent be negative". In which case 2-3 is 1/8 or 0.125.
How do you evaluate each expression with only one exponent?
To evaluate an expression with only one exponent, first identify the base and the exponent. Then, apply the exponent to the base by multiplying the base by itself as many times as indicated by the exponent. For example, to evaluate (2^3), you would calculate (2 \times 2 \times 2), which equals 8. Finally, if the exponent is negative or a fraction, adjust your calculation accordingly, such as using the reciprocal for negative exponents.

What is two to the negative three exponent?
2-3= 0.125 or 1/8 2^(-3) = 1/2^3 = 1/8
What must you turn a negative exponent problem into?
A negative exponent is 1 over the base to the power of the absolute value of the exponent. For example 2 to the power of -1 is 1/2, 2 to the power of -2 is 1/4, or (1/2) squared, and 2 to the power of -3 is 1/8, or (1/2) cubed.
What is the exponent of 8 squared?
8^2 = 64 The exponent is 2
A negative exponent minus a negative exponent equals?
if its like this: (these are exponents by the way) -8 - (-4) = 4 * * * * * Unfortunately, that is wrong! -8 - (-4) = -8 + 4 = -4 not +4.

How do you get rid of negative exponents?
Negative exponents indicate that the number for which the exponent applies to should be placed under one. Ex: 2^(-3) also can be expressed as 1/(2^3) or 1/8. So, to eliminate the negative exponent, simply place the number (and the accompanying exponent) under one to make a fraction.
How do you identify the base and exponent in the expression negative eight to the fifteenth power?
negative 8 would be the base and the 15 would be the exponent
What does a negative exponent show?
A negative exponent indicates division by the base. For example: 8 -3 = 1/(83)= 1/672
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
