10n where n is positive is 10*10*10... n times [or 1 followed by n zeros]

10-n where n is positive is 1/10n = 1/(10*10*10...) n times [or 0.0...01 where there are n-1 zeros between the decimal point and the 1]

How do you predict whether a power will be negative or positive?

To predict whether a power will be negative or positive, examine the base and the exponent. If the base is positive, any exponent—whether positive or negative—will yield a positive result. Conversely, if the base is negative, an even exponent results in a positive value, while an odd exponent produces a negative value. Thus, the sign of the power depends on both the sign of the base and whether the exponent is odd or even.


Is 10 to the negative 4th power a positive number?

Yes. Any positive number to an exponent is positive.


What is x to the negative 7th power?

When a number is raised to a negative exponent, it is equivalent to its reciprocal raised to the positive exponent. Therefore, x to the power of -7 is equal to 1 divided by x to the power of 7, or 1/x^7.


What is 3m to the negative forth power?

It is the same as 1/34 . We move an exponent to the denominator and we change the exponent from positive to negative. Now 34 is 81 so the answer is 1/81 meters.If the exponent in the denominator is negative, we can move it up to the numerator and change it to a positive.


How do you write six to the negative fourth power as a positive exponent?

one over six to the fourth


Is a exponent a number with a plus or - sign?

You fail SO badly. If we have x^4, the 4 is the exponent- the power to which a number is raised. It can be positive or negative.


What are negative intergery exponents?

I assume you mean "negative integer exponents".It means that: * It is an exponent * It is an integer (whole number) * It is negative (less than zero, i.e., with a minus sign) A negative exponent is defined as the reciprocal of the positive exponent. For example, 10 to the power -5 is the same as 1 / (10 to the power 5).


How do you change negative exponets to positive exponents?

A negative exponent of a number is the same as the reciprocal of that same number to the equivalent positive exponent.EXAMPLE : 2-3 = 1/23When multiplying powers of the same base the rule is, addthe exponents.So, if the initial exponent is negative then the number has to be multiplied by a power of that number with an equivalent positive exponent greater than the negative exponent.EXAMPLE : 2-3 x 25 = 2(-3+5) = 22 (As 5 > l3l then the resultant exponent is positive)


Why is a negative exponent minus a positive exponent a negative exponent?

when you're doing a problem like that use this trick. let's say you have 3 to the -7 power minus 3 to the 4 power. -7 - 4 can also be shown as -7 + -4. i switched the minus sign to a plus sign and because i did that, i had to switch the positive 4 to a negative 4. so i got 3 to the -7 power plus 3 to the -4 power.


What is 13 to the exponent -6?

What thus the negative exponent denote?

For example, 10 to the power -5 means the same as 1 divided by (10 to the power 5). In general, you can interpret negative exponents this way, with reciprocals.


What is thirteen to the negative two power?

To get something to a negative power, first you must put it on the opposite side of the fraction it would be on currently. Also, when you do this, you switch the negative exponent to a positive exponent. 13^-2 1 = 1 13^2 Solve. 1 169 = 13^-2
