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.

How will you simplify expressions with negative exponents to get positive exponents?

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.


Can monomials have negative exponents?

Monomials can have negative exponents, if the term for the exponent is not a variable, but if it is a variable with a negative exponent, the whole expression will not be classified. This is so because the definition of a monomial states that, a monomial can be a product of a number and one or more variables with positive integer exponents. I hope that answered your question!
