Art of Problem Solving: Reciprocals and Negative Exponents

Here is a negative exponents worksheet where there are a total of 47 problems. It is divided into three sections. Each section states a rule for working with negative exponents, gives an example of how to use the rule to solve the...

"Demystifying" an often mysterious problem, Sal demonstrates some tricks for considering exponents intuitively, rather than working them out each time. He first takes viewers through positive exponents and works up to negative exponents,...

Don't let negative exponents confuse your mathematicians, just remember to flip them to the other side. Observe multiple practice problems solving quotient and negative exponent examples. Step-by-step instructions combined with an...

Once pupils are confident solving quotients with negative exponents, they need to learn what happens if they have different bases. A few guided practice problems clarify the processes. The exponent rules start to come together through...

Viewers examine power expressions with negative exponents through a video that shows four examples of simplifying a negative exponent to create an expression with only positive exponents. Examples include both integers and variables.

Identifying the base is extremely important. Using five problems with negative exponents, the narrator demonstrates that knowing the base is important in simplifying algebraic expressions. The different problems use the same numbers but...
