Base: A number that is multiplied repeatedly. 7.1 Zero and Negative Exponents: Exponent: A number that shows repeated multiplication. Property: A character or attribute that something has.
Definition: An exponent equation has two components: Exponent Base
ZERO: as an exponent PROPERTIES: For every number a, = 1 Ex: (-3)0= 1 40= 1 1000= 1 (-½) 0= 1 1,000,0000= 1
YOU TRY IT: Simplify the following exponents: -1 0 (-1) 0 m0 -1/3 0
SOLUTION: No matter what integer it is, anything to the power of zero is 1. -1 0 = -1 (-1) 0= 1 m 0= 1 -1/3 0= -1
Negative numbers: as an exponents PROPERTIES: For every nonzero number a and integer n =
In math we never like to work with negative exponents. NOTE: We must always provide answers with positive exponents. Ex:
ALSO: If negative exponents are in the denominator, we still turn them into positive. Ex: 1(9) = 9 1() 6() 6(4) =24
SIMPLIFYING EXPONENTIAL EXPRESSIONS: Once again, always give answers with positive exponents only! Ex:What is the simplified form of each expression? b) a)5a3b-2 d) c)4c-3r
Switch the integers that have negative to the other side. SOLUTIONS: a)5a3b-2 b) x5 c) 4c-3r d)
