Notice the phrase “nonzero number” in the previous table. This is because 00 and 0 raised to a negative power are both undefined.
cup is equal to Example 1: Application One cup is 2–4 gallons. Simplify this expression.
Example 2: Zero and Negative Exponents Simplify. A. 4–3 B. 70 Any nonzero number raised to the zero power is 1. 7º = 1 C. (–5)–4 D. –5–4
Caution In (–3)–4, the base is negative because the negative sign is inside the parentheses. In –3–4 the base (3) is positive.
Check It Out! Example 2 Simplify. a. 10–4 b. (–2)–4 c. (–2)–5 d. –2–5
Check It Out! Example 3a Evaluate the expression for the given value of the variable. p–3 for p = 4 Substitute 4 for p. Evaluate exponent. Write the power in the denominator as a product. Evaluate the powers in the product.
for a = –2 and b = 6 Check It Out! Example 3b Evaluate the expression for the given values of the variables. Substitute –2 for a and 6 for b. Evaluate expressions with exponents. Write the power in the denominator as a product. Evaluate the powers in the product. 2 Simplify.
An expression that contains negative or zero exponents is not considered to be simplified. Expressions should be rewritten with only positive exponents. So if a base with a negative exponent is in a denominator, it is equivalent to the same base with the opposite (positive) exponent in the numerator.
B. Example 4: Simplifying Expressions with Zero and Negative Numbers Simplify. A. 7w–4
