Evaluating Exponents

Anything raised to a power of zero is always: 

• 0
• 1
• itself
• negative

According to exponent rules, when we divide powers we _______ the exponents.

• add
• subtract
• multiply
• divide

According to exponent rules, when we multiply powers we _______ the exponents.

• add
• subtract
• multiply
• divide

According to exponent rules, when we raise a power to a power we _______ the exponents.

• add
• subtract
• multiply
• divide

How do you solve:
