Negative Exponents

Simply put, negative exponents are those that are "flipped." So, if a negative exponent appears in a denominator in a problem, it is simply necessary to move the numerator to make it a positive or negative depending on the question. 

TIP:  When a question has a fraction that appears complicated, it is possible to clean it up by dividing the coefficients then subtracting the exponents.
