Negative Exponent Rule
In Negative Exponent Rule, if a number is raised to negative interest then we convert the base to its reciprocal, and the power is changed to positive. The vice versa is also true i.e. if the exponent is positive and if the base is converted to its reciprocal then the exponent is changed to the negative value. It can be represented as (x/y)-m = (y/x)m
Example: (2/3)-2 =?
Solution:
Since, the exponent is negative the base is converted to its reciprocal.
⇒ (2/3)-2 = (3/2)2 = 32/22 = 9/4
Laws of Exponents
Laws of Exponents: Exponents are a way of representing very large or very small numbers. Exponent rules are the laws of the exponents that are used to solve various exponents’ problems. The multiplication, division, and other operations on exponents can be achieved using these laws of exponents. There are different rules of exponents also called laws of exponents in Mathematics and all these laws are added in the article below.
In this article, we will learn about Exponents Definition, Laws of Exponents, Laws of Exponents Examples, and others in detail.
