What is equivalent to 5 exponent negative 1?
5-1 = 1/5
What is the answer if the problem is 1 over 2 with a negative 5 exponent?
(1/2)-5 = 32
How do you solve negative integral exponents?
A negative exponent is simply the reciprocal of the positive exponent. So simply remove the negative sign and find the reciprocal. Thus, for example, 5-3 = 1/53 = 1/125
What are negative intergery exponents?
I assume you mean "negative integer exponents".It means that: * It is an exponent * It is an integer (whole number) * It is negative (less than zero, i.e., with a minus sign) A negative exponent is defined as the reciprocal of the positive exponent. For example, 10 to the power -5 is the same as 1 / (10 to the power 5).
What thus the negative exponent denote?
For example, 10 to the power -5 means the same as 1 divided by (10 to the power 5). In general, you can interpret negative exponents this way, with reciprocals.

What happens if your number has a negative exponent?
That number becomes an exponent. For example, 5 to the -2 power is 1/25

How do you raise anumber to a negative exponent?
A number to a negative exponent is the inverse of the number to the positive exponent. That is, x-a = 1/xa
What is the meaning of negative exponent?
A negative exponent implies a reciprocal.Thus x^-a = 1/x^a or, equivalently, (1/x)^a
What do you do to a number with a negative exponent?
Basically do the same thing you would with a positive exponent. However, the difference with negatives is that it will be a fraction with 1 over whatever the exponent comes out to. The negative just tells you to flip the position of the exponent from the numerator to the denominator. For example if you have 5-2, it would become 1/52, which would then become 1/25. Also, if you have a negative exponent in your denominator, you would flip it up to the numerator. For example if you have 1/5-2, it would become 52, which would then be 25.
Is a number raised to a negative exponent greater than 1?
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.
What is the negative exponent law?
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
What is 5 with an exponent of negative 2?
-25
