use the rules for multiplying integers.
Pos times pos equals pos
neg times neg equals posneg times pos or pos times neg equals neg
and keep in mind that a negative exponent turns positive by using the recipricol (changing it to a fraction)
(8 2)-2 = 82*-2 = 8-4 = 1/84 = 1/8*8*8*8 = 1/4096
(8 2)-2 = (8 . 8) -2 = 64-2 = 1/642 = 1/64*64 = 1/4096
Hope this answers your question
What else can I help you with?
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.
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.
How do you change powers with negative exponents to powers with positive exponents?
by doing reciprocal
How do you figure out negative exponents?
They are the reciprocals of the positive exponents. Thus, x-a = 1/xa
What do you get when you multiply a positive by a negative number?
When you multiply a positive number by a negative number you always get a negative number.
How do you simplify negative numbers with positive exponents?
If the exponent is an even number you can drop the negative, because is you were to multiply it out the negatives would cancel out.
How do you multiply positive integers with negative exponents?
To multiply positive integers with negative exponents, first rewrite the expression using the property of exponents that states (a^{-n} = \frac{1}{a^n}). For example, if you have (3 \times 5^{-2}), you can express it as (3 \times \frac{1}{5^2}), which simplifies to (\frac{3}{25}). This method effectively converts the multiplication of a positive integer by a term with a negative exponent into a division operation.

When you multiply a negative and a negative will the answer be positive or negative?
Positive
When you multiply a negative and positive is the answer positive or negative?
Negative.
When you multiply a positive with a positive do you get a negative or positive?
Negative
What is positive exponents?
Exponents that are NOT a negative exponent therefore they are mostly whole numbers kind of:)
