Negative & Zero Exponents • 22 Means… 2 • 2 = 4 • 21 Means… 2 = 2 • 20 Means… 1 • What does 2-1 Mean?
Negative & Zero Exponents • What does 2-1 Mean? • You cannotleave an exponent negative because there is no way to express it’s meaning. • You must make it positive!
Negative & Zero Exponents You do NOT want to have negative exponents in your answer. You get rid of them by flipping the exponent over, like reciprocals. If the negative exponent is on top, move it to the bottom.
