why the exponents can not be negative
When multiplying binomials that turn out negative do you add or subtract exponents?
When multiplying numbers with exponents, you add the exponents.
What is the math definition of Negative Exponent Property?
property of negative exponents
How to solve integer exponents?
Positive exponents: an = a*a*a*...*a where there are n (>0) lots of a. Negative exponents: a-n = 1/(a*a*a*...*a) where there are n (>0) lots of a.
What are negative exponents written as?
They can be written as reciprocals with positive exponents. For example, 5-7 = (1/5)7
Can you have negative exponents in the denominator?
You can have negative exponents anywhere. When they are in the denominator, they are equivalent to positive exponents in the numerator of a fraction.
Why do you have negative exponents?
Negative exponents are used to represent 1 divided by an a base to a specific exponent.

How do you figure out negative exponents?
They are the reciprocals of the positive exponents. Thus, x-a = 1/xa
What is positive exponents?

What are negative exponents?
Exactly that ... negative exponents. For example: 1000 = 103 That is a positive exponent. .001 = 10-3 That is a negative exponent. For positive exponents, you move the decimal place that many positions to the right, adding zeros as needed. For negative exponents, you move the decimal place that many positions to the LEFT, adding zeros as needed. And, the special case is this: 100 = 1.
How will you simplify expressions with negative exponents to get positive exponents?
A negative exponent becomes positive in the reciprocal. So if you have a number a^x where x is negative, then, a^x = 1/(a^-x) and, since x is negative, -x is positive.
