Question

What would be the correct response to this question? I am confused?

Answer 1

The rule for negative exponent a^-n = 1/a^n, why it does not apply when a = 0.

when a = 0

`a^(-n)=(1)/(a^n)`
`\begin{gathered} a^(-n)=0^(-n)=0 \\ (1)/(a^n)=(1)/(0^n)=\infty,\text{but you cannot divide by zero} \end{gathered}`

Hence the correct answer is Option A
