Division by a negative exponent is the same as multiplication by its positive counterpart. So the question becomes one of multiplying one positive exponent by another positive exponent.
If the mantissa (bases) are the same, then you simply add the exponents:
34 / 3-7 = 34 * 3+7 = 34+7 = 311
If the bases are not the same, but the exponents have the same value (though second one negative), then multiply the bases and raise to the common exponent:
34 / 5-4 = 34 * 54 = (3*5)4 = 154
You may need to do some preliminary calculations to bring the numbers into one or the other of these forms.
34 / 16-2 = 34 * 162 = 34 * 44 = (3*4)4 = 124
A negative exponent is the reciprocal of the corresponding positive exponent. 102 = 100 10-2 = 1/100
This is a procedure used to help people who are new to negative exponents. A negative exponent, when moved to the other side of the fraction, becomes a positive exponent and beginners are more comfortable with working with positive fractions.
You just divide like you would divide any other decimal, and then... Positive and Positive = Positive Negative and Negative = Positive Positive and Negative = Negative I hope my answer helped! :)
Yes a negative divided by a positive is a negative! :)
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)
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.
A number to a negative exponent is the inverse of the number to the positive exponent. That is, x-a = 1/xa
A negative exponent is the reciprocal of the corresponding positive exponent. 102 = 100 10-2 = 1/100
If you square any real number it will always be positive.
It will become a positive number.

Say it with a lot of sarcasm.
negative
always a positive

To change a negative exponent to a positive one, you take the reciprocal of the base raised to the positive exponent. For example, ( a^{-n} ) can be rewritten as ( \frac{1}{a^n} ), where ( a ) is the base and ( n ) is the positive exponent. This rule applies to any non-zero base.
