This document provides examples for writing numbers using negative exponents. It begins with examples of writing expressions like 6-3 and 4-4 using positive exponents. It then provides step-by-step examples of writing fractions with negative exponents other than -1, like writing 5-2. Further examples show simplifying expressions using the properties of exponents, like 53 • 5-5 = 53 + (-5). In the examples, writing numbers with negative exponents allows writing very small or large numbers without fractions and makes multiplying or dividing numbers with the same base easier.
