Question

What do the Zero Exporient and Negative Exponent Properties mean?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Zero Exponent Property: The zero exponent rule states that when a nonzero number is raised to the power of zero, it equals 1.

Example: x^0 = 1

Negative Exponent Properties: the negative exponent rule tells us that a number with a negative exponent should be put to the denominator, and vice verse. It also describes how many times we have to multiply the reciprocal of the base.

An example of negative exponents is
`3^(-2)`.

Answer 2

Explanation:

Zero exponent numbers = 1

When you try to multiply an exponent by zero, it equals one.

Negative exponents is just a 1/x

Negative just flips over the equation.

For example, 9^-1

1/9^1

1/9
