the exponent is a negative
Exponents are negative numbers. This is used in math a lot.
It certainly has a meaning. It is only meaningless if you consider powers as repeated multiplication; but the "extended" definition, for negative and fractional exponents, makes a lot of sense, and it is regularly used in math and science.
you don't have a zero exponent in math.
it means that it is something about math

Exponents are negative numbers. This is used in math a lot.
The base number is the the number that is being repeatedlymultiplied in exponent problems. Example: 32 _ three is the base and two is the exponent

It is a negative integer.
An integer exponent is a count of the number of times a particular number (the base) must be multiplied together. For example, for the base x, x^a means x*x*x*...*x where there are a lots of x in the multiplication. The definition is simple to understand for integer values of the exponent. This definition gives rise to the laws of exponents, and these allow this definition to be extended to the case where the exponents are negative, fractions, irrational and even complex numbers.

If the exponent or raised power of a number is in the form of p/q the exponent is said to be rational exponent. For example= 11/2 22/3
Zero with an exponent of two is still zero. The math involves 0x0x0=0.
^ means, "to the exponent of"
