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

No. The product of a negative number and a positive number is always negative.
What is a negative product?
A product that results in a negative number such as multiplication of a positive number with a negative number resulting in a negative number, a negative product.
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)
What is a negitaive times a positive?

How do you find the product or quotient using positive exponents when you have negative ones?
Change the number or variable with the exponent from the numerator to the denominator, or from the denominator to the numerator, and at the same time change the exponent from negative to positive. For example, 5-3 = 1/53, and 1/x-10 = x10.
