VOCABULARY
1. Zero Exponents – Any nonzero number
raised to the zero power is 1.
Examples:
30 = 1
(−16)0 = 1
𝑥0 = 1

VOCABULARY
2. Negative Exponents– A nonzero number
raised to a negative exponent is equal to 1
divided by that number raised to the
opposite (postive) exponent.

Caution
In (–5)–4, the base is negative because the
negative sign is inside the parentheses. In –5–4
the base (5) is positive.
