Question

How are negative exponents and positive exponents related ?

Answer 1

If it's a negative exponent for example -6 the answer would be 1/x^-6. So if x is 10. Then 10^-6 is equal to 1/10^6 (One over ten to the power of 6 or One divided by 10 to the power six)

Answer 2

Negative or positive exponents are related by fractions.

For example, if we have a number that is raised to a negative exponent, we can write the number as the quotient between 1 and the same number raised to a positive exponent.

We have then:

`a^(-b) = (1)/(a^b)`

Answer:

negative exponents and positive exponents are related by fractions:

`a^(-b) = (1)/(a^b)`
