It is not proper to write answers with negative exponents. How do we "take care of" negative exponents?

Create a fraction with the base on the bottom and a positive exponent. Example: $$x^{-3}=rac{1}{x^3}$$

Just make the exponent positive. Example: $$x^{-3}=x^3$$

Write no solution if there is a negative exponent

Just leave the negative exponent. It is mathematically okay.

Will the product of (-14) 4 be positive or negative and why? (select both the answer and the explanation)

Because negative base with an even exponent is always positive

Because negative base with an odd exponent is always negative
