These laws are generated (and understood) by extending an accepted numerical pattern… The second tier of the exponents laws takes us beyond the range of “common visualization”
In generalx0 = 1 8 1 x 2 23 = 22 = 4 1 x 2 Continue the pattern 21 = 2 1 x 2 20 = 1
This law holds true for any number! Any number to the exponent zero always reduces to 1 Continue the previous pattern..
1 21 1 1 1 2 2 22 1 1 1 1 X 2 2 2 23 Is there a pattern? 2-1 = X = 2-2 = = 2-3 = X
In GeneralX-n = 1 • When given a negative exponent, invert the term and change the negative exponent to a positive exponent Xn
