ZERO EXPONENT PROPERTY For every nonzero number a, a 0 = 1
For example, = = =
Try it! = =
Answers = =
NEGATIVE EXPONENT PROPERTY For every nonzero number a and integer n, a - n =
For example, = = =
Try it! = =
Answers = =

Not quite... In this problem, you forgot that any value to the zero power equals 1.
Perfect! YOU GOT IT RIGHT! In this problem, you remembered that any value to the zero power equals 1.
Not quite... In this problem, you only need to send the “x” to the denominator. The exponent only relates to the variable since there are not parentheses around the “6x.”
Perfect! YOU GOT IT RIGHT! In this problem, you remembered that the exponent “-8” only relates to “x” so 6 should stay in the numerator.
Not quite... In this problem, the exponents need to be added since two terms with the same base are being multiplied.
Perfect! YOU GOT IT RIGHT! You remembered that the exponents need to be added since two terms with the same base are being multiplied.
Not quite... In this problem, the exponents need to be multiplied since you are raising a power to a power.
Perfect! YOU GOT IT RIGHT! You remembered that exponents need to be multiplied since you are raising a power to a power.
Not quite... In this problem, both “8” and “y” both need to be squared since they are both in parentheses.
Perfect! YOU GOT IT RIGHT! You remembered to square both the “8” and the “y” since they were both in the parentheses.
Not quite... In this problem, the numerator and the denominator have the same base so the exponents should be subtracted. (numerator exponent minus denominator exponent)
Perfect! YOU GOT IT RIGHT! You remembered to subtract the exponents since the numerator and the denominator had the same base.
Not quite... In this problem, the numerator and the denominator have the same base so the exponents should be subtracted. (numerator exponent - denominator exponent)
Perfect! YOU GOT IT RIGHT! You remembered to subtract the exponents since the numerator and the denominator had the same base. End Exponent Express Continue on to next level
