Yes, it is a smaller value.

For example, 4,500,000*10^(-4) = 450.

Is it true if a negative number is raised to the 18th power the answer will be negative?

No. Negative numbers to even powers are positive.


Would 3 negative numbers be a positive number?

3 negative numbers are three negative numbers. There are a lot of things you can do with them: -- You can add them up. Their sum is always a negative number. -- You can add two of them and subtract the third one from the sum. The result could be a positive number or it could be a negative number. It depends on the three negative numbers you started with. -- You can multiply them all together. The product is always a negative number. -- You can multiply all of their absolute values together. The product is always a positive number. -- You can multiply two of them, and divide the product by the third one. The result is always a negative number. -- You can multiply two of them, then raise the product to the power of the third one. The result is always a positive number. -- You can divide one of them by another one, then raise the quotient to the power of the third one. The result is always a positive number. But, as I said at the top, 3 negative numbers are never anything else other than three negative numbers.


How would you explain to a seventh grader the difference between the domains of an odd root radical function and an even root radical function?

To start with, when you multiply an even number of negative numbers, the answer is positive. When you multiply an odd number of negative numbers, the answer is negative. When you multiply any number of positive numbers, the answer is always positive. For positive numbers, the value of a power is always positive. For negative numbers, the value of an odd power is negative, and the value of an even power is positive. Finding roots is the inverse of taking powers, so that an odd-root function can be evaluated for any value of x. An even-root function, however, cannot be evaluated when the value of x is negative, since an even power can never result in a negative answer. The domain of an odd root function is all real numbers; the domain of an even root function is the non-negative real numbers.


Log -3 equals?

There is no answer - it is an error: negative numbers do not have logarithms. The log if a number tells to what power the (positive) base must be raised to get the number. Raising any positive number to any power will never result in a negative number, so it is an error to try and take the log of a negative number.

What is a rule for raising a negative number into a power number?

The answer depends on the power number. If, for example, the power number is -0.5, then there is no rule in real numbers.

Does a negative number raised to an odd power simplifies to a negative number?

Yes, a negative number raised to an odd power will simplify to a negative number. This is because when you multiply two negative numbers together, the result is always a positive number. However, when you raise a negative number to an odd power, the negative sign remains, resulting in a negative number. This is a fundamental property of exponents and is consistent across all mathematical operations involving negative numbers.


What is the value of minus of any number to the power of zero?

Any number (except zero) to the zero power is 1. -1 If it was positive anything it would be 1. Anything positive to the power -0 = 1 Anything negative to the power -0 = -1

How do you raise a number to a negative power on a calculator?

There should be a negative button on your calculator, separate from the minus button. Press that button before pressing the buttons for the numbers of the exponent.
