A negative exponent implies a reciprocal.
Thus x^-a = 1/x^a or, equivalently, (1/x)^a
Polynomials cannot have negative exponent.
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.
When you have a number raised to a negative exponent, you move to the left rather than the right in decimal places. E.g. 103 = 1000 10-3 = 0.001 More specifically, when you have a negative exponent, you are taking the reciprocal of what the positive exponent would give. 24 = 16, but 2-4=(1/16) ■
When a number is raised to a negative exponent, it is equivalent to its reciprocal raised to the positive exponent. Therefore, x to the power of -7 is equal to 1 divided by x to the power of 7, or 1/x^7.

The zero exponent rule basically says that any base with an exponent of zero is equal to one. For example: x^0 = 1A negative exponent is equivalent to 1 over a positive exponent.x^1 = x x^0 = 1x^-1 = 1/x
negative 4 with negative 3 as an exponent
the exponent is a negative
Polynomials cannot have negative exponent.
That you have an exponential function. These functions are typical for certain practical problems, such as population growth, or radioactive decay (with a negative exponent in this case).
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 indicates repeated division of a number by itself. Specifically, ( a^{-n} ) is equivalent to ( \frac{1}{a^n} ), meaning you take the reciprocal of the base raised to the positive exponent. This operation reflects the concept that negative exponents represent the inverse of the base raised to the corresponding positive exponent.
A negative exponent is the reciprocal of the corresponding positive exponent. 102 = 100 10-2 = 1/100
Example: (4x)-2 The answer to this would be 1/ 16x2. Multiply it out as if the negative exponent was not there ((4x)2), then that will be the denominator of the fraction. The numerator is one.
If you have a negative exponent, then put 1/the number multiplied by itself the number of times of the exponent. For example: 3-2=1/(3x3)=1/9
No, a number raised to a negative exponent is less than 1. When a number is raised to a negative exponent, it is inverted and the exponent becomes positive. This means that the value of the number decreases as the exponent becomes more negative.
