In math this year I’ve learned how to simplify exponents and negative exponents. It’s called integer exponents. If you have a problem that is 3 to the 5 power you multiply 3 5 times. S you do 3*3*3*3*3= 243. If it’s a negative you would do 3 to the negative 5th power.  So you do 3*3*3*3*3= 1 over 243 b3cause it’s a negative.
