What is positive exponents?
Exponents that are NOT a negative exponent therefore they are mostly whole numbers kind of:)
What is the name of first person to use positive whole number exponents?
Rene Descarite
How do you Divide negative exponents?
The same way you divide positive exponents like ( x^-7 ) / ( x^-12) = x^( -7 - - 12) = x^( -7+12) = x^5
How do you change negative exponents to positive exponents?
If you have 10^-3 then you can consider it the same as (1/10^3) and you have changed the negative exponent to positive exponent. Similarly, if the original number is (1/10^-3), that is equivalent to 10^3. In most cases it is as simple as taking the reciprocal.
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!
What is the ordered pair of solution 2x-5y8?
2x - 5y8 is an expression. It is not an equation and so cannot have a solution.
The exponents in the terms of a polynomial must be?
why the exponents can not be negative
Rewrite 4-3 with positive exponents simplify to a fraction with no exponents?
7
Can you have negative exponents in the denominator?
You can have negative exponents anywhere. When they are in the denominator, they are equivalent to positive exponents in the numerator of a fraction.
How do you change powers with negative exponents to powers with positive exponents?
by doing reciprocal
What is positive exponents?
Exponents that are NOT a negative exponent therefore they are mostly whole numbers kind of:)
How do you figure out negative exponents?
They are the reciprocals of the positive exponents. Thus, x-a = 1/xa
How to solve integer 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.
When is an algebraic expression containing exponents in simplest form?
It is in the simplest form when all exponents are positive.
What are negative exponents written as?
They can be written as reciprocals with positive exponents. For example, 5-7 = (1/5)7
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.
How you find the mathematics formula?
Write in positive exponents: (3x ) / y =
