Exponents Rules Day 1

Anything raised to a power of zero is always: 

• 0
• 1
• itself
• negative

(2⁸)²

• 2¹⁶
• 2¹⁰
• 2⁶
• 2⁴

x⁻⁶

• 1 ⁄ x⁶
• x⁶
• -x⁶
• -1 ⁄ x⁶

When using the Power to a Power rule, what are you supposed to do with the exponents? ex.  $\left(x^9\right)^{12}$  

• Add the exponents.

• Multiply the exponents.

• Subtract the exponents.

• Make it  $12x^9$  

 Simplify the following
(no negative exponents):

 $\left(-10a^3\right)^0$ 

•  $-10a^3$  

•  $1$  

•  $0$  

• undefined

Simplify the following expression:

(xyz)⁰ =

• 0

• 1

• xyz

• -1

Rewrite using positive exponents

• 2⁴

• 1/2⁴

• 4²

• 1/4²

Simplify x^-7

• -7
• -7x
• 1/x⁷
• -1/x⁷

Which is greater,  2654⁰ or 5⁰?

• 2654⁰
• 5⁰
• They are the same
• Zero is greater

Rewrite using a positive exponent.
g^-7

• ¹/_g⁷
• g⁷
• ¹/_g^-7
