How do you raise a exponent?

In the simplest case - a positive integer exponent - the exponent is an indicator of how often a number should be used as a factor. For example, 25 means that the number 2 should appear five times as a factor: 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2. Exponentiation is also defined for an exponent of zero, negative exponents, and fractional exponents, but be sure to understand this simplest case first.

False.positive x positive = positivepositive x negative = negativenegative x positive = negativenegative x negative = positiveEvery 2 negative factors provides a positive result, so if there are an odd number of negative factors, there are 2n + 1 of them which means the 2n would provide a positive factor to be multiplied by the final negative factor which gives a negative result.
