02 1-2 The zero exponent and the negative exponent

  • a⁰ = 1 for every a ≠ 0; 0⁰ is undefined. So (3x²)⁰ = 1 whenever x ≠ 0.
  • a⁻ⁿ = 1/aⁿ — a negative exponent moves the factor to the other side of the fraction bar, it does not change the sign of the value.
  • (a/b)⁻ⁿ = (b/a)ⁿ.
  • Example: 2⁻³ = 1/8, and (2/5)⁻² = (5/2)² = 25/4.
