Simplifying Expressions with Negative Exponents - Ex 2
In this video I look at two different examples of where we must simplify expressions using the properties of exponents. In particular we need to use the property involving negative exponents.
Be careful as you move things around, as people often get confused when dealing with negative exponents.

LOL. i feel so stupid. i knew about the flipping but never done it correctly. thank you very much. i saw my mistakes.

[theresiakangunga]

Very easy tricks.. Thank you.. You have just helped me to solve this. 👌👌👌

[calebgutierrez]

If we all join together and end math once and for all we can take it out. Who's with me?!

[yuleysa]

Does it matter were you put the variable and the exponent...I noticed you would leave room for a variable and re exponent

[justcat_]

thanks! one question though. if their all negative, can i reciprocal them?

[patrickjmt]

@katherine83095 just rewrite it as 1 / (-4)^2 so that you get 1 / 16

[fredlee]

does it matter which ones on the numerator or denominator bc I get the right answer but always mix up which ones go on top or bottom.

I wish he is my teacher ;) really helps!

[CubanCrackers]

what about a non fraction equation like
7 to the 2nd power - 2 to the -5th power

[JoahnD]

I am very confused.... Forst the first problem I got a squared/3B to the fifth power and for the second i got 2absquared

[reldayeliab]

what is the base number/variable is negative. is that okay? or should it be made positive some how?

[AcLadyBug]

This helped. btw, I noticed you were a lefty! :D

[patrickjmt]

@njnolan1 tell your teacher to answer your emails (unless you are sending like 20 a day)

[melanycastillo]

what about 4 to the power of -3 ? and 3x to the power of -3? and also (7x) to the power of -3? lol thanks help me!

[sagaginkimarie]

what? i thought youre gonna subtract a6 and a-8 and also b

[katherine]

okay what about (-4)^-2
what do I do with something like that?

[TrumpetGuy]

My teacher doen't explain as well as you do
