How to make negative exponents into positive exponents?
I agree with the first answer. If you know that raising a number to a positive exponent ends up moving the decimal place to the right (making a bigger number), then a negative exponent moves the decimal to the left, making a smaller number. Dividing also makes this number smaller, that’s why x^-2 is the same as 1/x^2. try it with actual numbers and you will see how it works.
