Negative Exponents 

I am taking my nursing exam soon and I completely forgot all my math..I recently purchased a math book to brush up on my math skills and this video is better than all the books. I really appreciate how thorough and clear you are. Thank you so much! I definitely subscribed to you

Remember this people (kids)! You'll be using this all the way through calculus.

You're like the only online math tutor who's good.

I remember learning properties of exponents in 5th grade, and the teacher wasn't really clear on how to solve these problems, but it seemed like everyone else in my class knew how to do it since they where all a bunch of math geniuses. Then, I went and watched these videos which made it so much easier for me :D

this is for ages: 3 years - 130 years old

Im 13 and we'll have our periodical exam by today's afternoon. My teacher is good in teaching but I still approach this guy for more practice.Last exam, I got one mistake as my result.Today,it got easier thanks to Patrick.hehe... l'll have it 100%this time. evil smile* trust me, he's the best online tutor in my life.Ive been watching his vids for years. :333333 he is awesome!

Every time I'm looking for clarification, I find myself watching your videos. Thank you so much for all the help.

i was havin a hard time getting pass in school wit d's and c's, havin a asian parent was even more pressuring. i hope u realize u brought my score up in math by 1 or even 2 letter grades. now i get b's and a's. thanks for changin lives and keep doin wat ur doin. UR OP

but the best part, is that you post video walk thrus about video games and like the jonas boys...

Ahhh!! Thankyousomuchh!! My math teacher sucks(not to be rude) plus I'm not the only one who feels that way, but she literally spent like 2mins teaching us this and BAM! Worksheet on our own! So this helped me TONS

You are amazing, Patrick! Your videos have really helped me these past few days! Thank you sooooooo much! You are really good at explaining things so that people who have difficulty with math can easily understand them! You rock!

very helpful, organized, and great penmanship! easy to follow. great video

Please put more videos like this

Thanks alot! This helped me a lot before my math quiz the next day!

"fancy way of righting the number 25" love it

thank you so very much, i have an integrated final exam tommorow (im the only 7th grader in my 9th grade homeroom), and this will really help, keep making good videos!

OMG THANKYOUU. my teachers giving me a test on fractional indices tomorrow and she has not taught me anything about it

I would just like to say THANK YOU SO MUCH(: With most other videos I just can't grasp the concepts they are trying to teach. Without you, I would have a headache now...and an F later. Keep making videos! I may need you with geometry.

Thanks! You helped a LOT!

Thank you so much for your videos. I actually like the way you're writing on papers.

This was a great video, thank you. It's things like this that make distance education possible - I will be bookmarking your site for further questions I have!

Great video. Thank you.

thx it helped our teacher is makeing us get in groups of three and teach the lesson to each other...but no one knows how to do it

Very helpful, thanks very much!

@Charlymaumushi not youtube, but patrickjmt.

Thank you patrickJMT for exhisting.

Thank u so much ! this vid helped me...i had a test the other day and i followed this and got a A on the test!!

omg thank you! ive been having trouble with this forever!!!!!!!!

perfect!

Thanks so...much, you make it easy. Thanks for your time.

Wow...you are AMAZING!! Math genius for 7th-8th standards!!

Thanks so much!

This helps me a lot

multiply to both denominator and numerator so you have (4^-2/9^-2) simplify by doing a reciprocal = (9^2/4^2) proceed with simplification = 81/16 as the final answer...

We'll have exam for today! This will help me so much. Thank you! :)

I LOVE YOUR VIDS, but I was force-fed two commercials while watching this one ( which sucked, I was in the zone-lol). Your page is amazing, same videos with a great organization method-if you don't have time for youtube advertisements go there!!

Nicely presented. OBEY THE LAWS OF EXPONENTS!

you sir are my hero

This helps alot

great videos

Well this was wonderful

you're rad thank you!!

good job thanks helped a ton!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yay! Free homework help! :D

@aqwhalfblood01 its 5 raised to the 3/3 power, which is 5 to the first power. 5 to the first power equals 5.

Thank you this helped me with my math project C:

Thx so much

thank you

wouldn't x^5/3 be the same as cubed root of x^5. which one would be considered completely simplified?

than you very much

thank you it helped

Man, some of you are in 7th grade and learning this stuff? Crazy. I don't remember math being this hard when I was that age.

I LOVE YOU! I am no longer frustrated!

well if you cant do that when adding or subtracting then how do you do it?

Well, how DO I solve a problem that involves addition and/or subtraction? I have an AP Calculus AB summer packet to do and there are at least six problems like that. If it's in the numerator I can easily separate it into different fractions, deal with the negative exponents, get a common denominator, and then put it all back together.... right? Would this work? Is it the best way?

God I want your hand writing!

so what happens when there is a plus what do you do?

thank you very much :)

this guy is really good

awesommme! need help with last example D;

bro you are amAZING, THANKS ALOT

This is good but i have this project do tomorrow and out of the topics is Negative Exponents and we have to give a example and Explanation but i no how to do it its jus that i dont know how to explain it !

@patrickJMT. Thanks! I found it!

What if you have a negative base and a negative exponent?

love you video :) than you so much!!1

thanx

awesome now i can do my homework

lol i suck at math n ima in college ... i should have thought bout this befa i picked 2 go to a all math related school ur realy help full when ima doing my HW cause i can do problems as i watch ur vid n stop it or go back anytime in school its just write this down ok now do this one.

how do you do something like (4/9)^-2 ? without a calculator

I dont't get my math teacher so im here to study, thanks..

@MTAL4ever nice

i have some questions on is (1/3) to the exponent of -4 and (-7) to the exponent of -2 if you could help, that'd be great thanks (:

bro you might have just got me an a on my quiz tomorrow

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

so, what's the answer for the last one? the x^-2 + 3 / x^3?

Good Video

@shootingstar196 ya

come back any time :)

Are there percentage calculation tutorials on patrickJMT dot coom?

Damn people are taking this in 7th grade? i'm in college taking this crap

I thought fractional exponents mean Power/Root. Like if I had 2^2/3, it would read the cube root of 2 squared...right?

what happens if the bases are not the same what do i write?

Where did you get lost?

We should have this videos in class! The problem on 6:55 was the Ex. I was looking for. Youtub is better than my book. The fucking book doesn't have that Ex.!

I'm confusing..if it is 5 3/3 so it must be 6 because you add a 3/3 to 5 it means you add a whole "1" to 5 ...=.='' 2:34

Thanks ive been.having trouble in mrs michols class at t.h.harris.

I need help on doing 20y^5/40y^-2 can yo help me?

Why not finish the last example?

Totally forgot about this along with most of Algebra 2. If I had your address I would send you a cake :D

i am doing my best :)
