Multiplying Negative Exponents Using the Negative Exponent Rule!

In this lesson, you will learn about the negative exponent rule, negative exponent definition, multiplying negative exponents, and how to work with negative powers.

Expressions and Equations Work with radicals and integer exponents.

Know and apply the properties of integer exponents to generate equivalent numerical expressions. For example, 32 × 3-5 = 3-3 = 1/33 = 1/27.

You don't know how much this helped me man. I thought this was a really hard subject because I was being taught bad, but you made it super easy.

[SantoshKumar-cpim]

Thank you, you explained everything in 3 mins thank you once again.

I failed my quiz on this today so I came watch some videos about it, yours was the first one I clicked😂 and I subbed

[craigford]

I am from a rural town in South Carolina, college was not something I ever thought I would do, but here I am. I have always struggled with math but your videos have helped me more than anything else ever has. I am grateful.

Thank you so much, as a homeschooling Mom to a 9th grader, I have a feeling we will be watching a lot of your videos. Thank you again, for helping me understand Math😊

[lucycarrasco]

Thank you so much I have been really struggling with this as my math skills are terrible and all the videos I watched so far just confused me! This has really helped.

[semiayub]

Wow. I just realized how many tests I would have failed without you. You have single handedly saved my grade, and for that I must give you a round of applause, irl.

[JeanMarcSaintLaurent]

Really helped me. I'm studying economics and data and needed a quick video refresher. Thank you for you for the visual, fun, and short styling of this video. Muchas gracias!

[drewg]

Thank you for this explanation. It was clear, and easy to understand.

For further understanding, will you please explain the following:

In practical application, what real world example would require a mathematical solution with a negative exponent?

Basicslly... What physical thing or concept would be represented by the base, and what physical thing or concept would be represented by the negative exponent?

Visualization is extremely helpful to me when internalizing concepts.

I was trying to help my little sister and realized I forgot how to do this. Thank you for the short and sweet refresher

[juliemacfarlane]

simple, brief, visual - perfect for an intro, review, or flipped classroom. Thank you.

[pokeboltplayz]

Anthony, do you have a video on circumference, radius, and diameter, if not, can you please make one.

[MyMarimac]

Well that was explained in a way I could understand! Thx!

[donikagi]

Great video this was kinda confusing to me but you explained it great!

[imnotklaus]

than you so much! Videos are always great, I love them and they keep me focused on math instead of on the new iPad Air. Thanks!

[bleur]

bro thankyou so much this really helped me

[nt_vanessa]

Bro, thank you so much, I've been so confused with this, btw-if u can, could u upload a video explaining how to solve bigger equations that have negative exponents and division and such? Please and thank you:) Ex= 2x^-4/4^-3x^2×y^0

[imhuman]

thank you so much
you really helped me:D

Another way to solve this is to actually write out what the whole thing change it so it says *2*2*2*2*2 and if you know that 1/2 times 2 will cancel out into 1, then you can see that after all of the canceling you are left with 1/2*1/2*1/2 which is the same thing as 1/8.

Another way to solve this is to rewrite 2^-8 as a positive exponent but write it in the denominator under the 2^5 that it looks like

2^5
____
2^8


and then you can expand it so it reads

2*2*2*2*2

2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2

You can see that pairs of 2"s will cancel out and you will be left with
1
____
2*2*2

which is the same thing as

1
__
8
