Any number, term or expression raised to the

power of zero is one.

= 1= 1= 1

= 1= 1= 1

Example:x0y0=1(6x)0=1





Summary

Power: An expression in the form bx.

Base: In an expression of the form bx, the base is b.

Exponent: In an expression of the form bx, the exponent is x. It tells you how many times the base is used in repeated multiplication.

Aim: How do we evaluate and simplify expressions with zero and Negative Exponents?





Summary

You get rid of Negative Exponents by flipping the exponent like reciprocals. Move the number or variable raised to a negative power to the other side (of the fraction). The exponent will then be positive.
