What is the reciprocal of a negative exponent when the exponent is a fraction?
The reciprocal of a^(-x/y) is 1/a^(x/y). The fact that the exponent is a fraction makes no difference.
Can a polynomial have a negative exponent?
Polynomials cannot have negative exponent.
How do you graph y equals x cubed?
Take the first few points. y = x^3 x | y -------- 0 0 1 1 2 8 3 27 4 64 5 125 Don't forget there is also a negative side! Since the exponent is odd the y values will be negative! So it looks like: y a x i s | / / x axis / / | | |
What does it mean when an exponent is a negative number?
A negative exponent is the reciprocal of the corresponding positive exponent. 102 = 100 10-2 = 1/100
How do you get rid of negative exponents?
Negative exponents indicate that the number for which the exponent applies to should be placed under one. Ex: 2^(-3) also can be expressed as 1/(2^3) or 1/8. So, to eliminate the negative exponent, simply place the number (and the accompanying exponent) under one to make a fraction.
