If you have a positve number and exponent you have a positive number, but what about if you have a negative exponent. If you do have anumber that is not zero that is raised to negative exponent you would have a fraction or decimal not a negative number. 
      Your number would be positive because it would become a fraction. It would become a fraction because you cant work with negative exponents you have to make it a fraction. You make the exponent a fraction and then you would multipy out the problem. All numbers raised to a negative power are eqaul to a fration and not negative. They are never nore than one. The answer to a number with a negative exponent is allways a fraction or a decimal.
