The reciprocal of a^(-x/y) is 1/a^(x/y). The fact that the exponent is a fraction makes no difference.
Polynomials cannot have negative exponent.
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 / / | | |
A negative exponent is the reciprocal of the corresponding positive exponent. 102 = 100 10-2 = 1/100
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.

if its like this: (these are exponents by the way) -8 - (-4) = 4 * * * * * Unfortunately, that is wrong! -8 - (-4) = -8 + 4 = -4 not +4.
negative 8 would be the base and the 15 would be the exponent
A negative exponent indicates division by the base. For example: 8 -3 = 1/(83)= 1/672

2y3 * (-2)x-1 * 3y4 = 2*(-2)*3*(1/x)*y3*y4 = -12y7/x
A negative exponent is the same as 1/(the positive exponent). For example, 2^3 is (2*2*2) = 8. 2^(-3) is 1/(2*2*2) = 1/8. So, just calculate the positive exponent version, and put it under 1.
The result is a negative number which may or may not have an exponent. For example, -2*102 times 4 = -8*102 -2*102 times 0.04 = -8
negative 4 with negative 3 as an exponent
Polynomials cannot have negative exponent.
the exponent is a negative
Every number can be expressed using an exponent. You select a base, b, which should be a positive real number. Suppose the number is x.If this number is negative, then its exponent form will have a negative sign before it.The absolute value of the number is converted to the exponent form by solving x = b^y where y is the exponent. However, you need to know about logarithms before you can do that (and this question suggests that you have not yet progressed to that level of mathematics).
