In y = x^n, n is called the exponent while x^n is called a power of n. Power really refers to a power function, which is more than simply the exponent.

Some of the numbers in scientific notation have a negative exponent and some have a positive exponent. Explain the difference between these tow types of numbers.?

The mantissa is multiplied by 10 raised to the power as shown by the exponent. So, if the exponent is 4, then you multiply the mantissa by 10^4 = 10,000. If the exponent is -4 then you multiply the mantissa by 10^(-4) = 0.0001 or, equivalently, divide by 10^4.

How do you raise the exponent?

To raise an exponent, you multiply the existing exponent by the new exponent. For example, if you have ( a^m ) and want to raise it to the power of ( n ), you would calculate ( (a^m)^n = a^{m \cdot n} ). This follows the power of a power rule in exponentiation.
