Negative and Zero Exponents Laws

Anything raised to a power of zero is always: 

• 0

• 1

• itself

• negative

n⁰ =

• 1

• 0

Simplify the expression using exponential notation:

Simplify the expression using exponential notation:

• 4^-2

• 1/4²

• 1/16

• all of the above

• a^-3

• a³

• 3a

Solve

• a^-2

• a²

• 1/a¹

Negative Exponent Law states: you must change the exponent to a positive by doing what?

• just change it to positive

• move to the bottom of fraction bar

• move it to the opposite side of fraction bar

In order for an exponential expression to be considered simplified, it can not have any negative exponents.

• True

• False

• A

• B

• C

• D
