Negative Exponents Explained | How Do Negative Exponents Work?

If you've started learning about negative exponents, you may have been pleasantly surprised about how easy they are to get rid of. But why? Why can we just move it to the denominator? This video explains why and it's probably simpler than you think.

Thank you for the explanation, this is what i was looking for

Thanks. Quick, simple and straight to the point. I going to check if you have anymore proof videos because I need to understand why things work not just they work.

I hope you get a golden play button ▶️ soon

i mean that's cool and all but i'm still stuck on understanding the concept of why we cant just multiply to the - exponent and have a negative number 😭

Good work mam its neat clead simple and helpful ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Tks for your time madam but you did not prove neg to fractional positive.

Why is there assumed to be a "1" left in the numerator? If you think about it, it seems like it wouldn't be unreasonable to view it as 1x? Do you get what I'm saying, or do I sound nuts?

Why do you need to prove a basic exponent property, meaning it's given by definition? BTW, your proof is wrong.
