An exponent is the power that a number is raised to. For instance, in the expression 3^2 ("three squared"), 2 is the "exponent" and 3 is the "base."

How do you predict whether a power will be negative or positive?

To predict whether a power will be negative or positive, examine the base and the exponent. If the base is positive, any exponent—whether positive or negative—will yield a positive result. Conversely, if the base is negative, an even exponent results in a positive value, while an odd exponent produces a negative value. Thus, the sign of the power depends on both the sign of the base and whether the exponent is odd or even.

To change a negative exponent to a positive one, you take the reciprocal of the base raised to the positive exponent. For example, ( a^{-n} ) can be rewritten as ( \frac{1}{a^n} ), where ( a ) is the base and ( n ) is the positive exponent. This rule applies to any non-zero base.
