Exactly that ... negative exponents.
For example:
1000 = 103
That is a positive exponent.
.001 = 10-3
That is a negative exponent.
For positive exponents, you move the decimal place that many positions to the right, adding zeros as needed.
For negative exponents, you move the decimal place that many positions to the LEFT, adding zeros as needed.
And, the special case is this:
100 = 1.
if you answer this question you are not smaart ! too'silly ! lol it means you need to go back to 8th graaade !

They are experimentally determined exponents.
It makes complicated equations and long numbers easier to write. It also gets you in hot chicks pants.
Yes, a median can be a negative number.
You can have negative exponents anywhere. When they are in the denominator, they are equivalent to positive exponents in the numerator of a fraction.
Negative exponents are used to represent 1 divided by an a base to a specific exponent.
why the exponents can not be negative
When multiplying numbers with exponents, you add the exponents.
by doing reciprocal

They are the reciprocals of the positive exponents. Thus, x-a = 1/xa
Exponents that are NOT a negative exponent therefore they are mostly whole numbers kind of:)
property of negative exponents
Positive exponents: an = a*a*a*...*a where there are n (>0) lots of a. Negative exponents: a-n = 1/(a*a*a*...*a) where there are n (>0) lots of a.
A negative exponent becomes positive in the reciprocal. So if you have a number a^x where x is negative, then, a^x = 1/(a^-x) and, since x is negative, -x is positive.
Yes, monomials can have negative exponents. When a monomial has a negative exponent, it means that the variable or variables in the monomial are in the denominator of the fraction. For example, x^(-2) is equivalent to 1/x^2. Negative exponents indicate that the variable should be moved to the opposite side of the fraction line and the exponent becomes positive.
