Math Problem Statement
Solution
Here’s the solution for the given problems, rewriting each expression without zero or negative exponents:
-
-
(since )
-
(since )
-
(any nonzero number to the power of 0 equals 1)
-

-
(anything to the power of 0 equals 1)
Would you like further details or explanations for any of these steps?
Five follow-up questions:
- Why does any nonzero number raised to the power of 0 equal 1?
- How do negative exponents change an expression?
- What are some real-world applications of exponents in mathematics?
- How does fractional exponents differ from whole-number exponents?
- Can you explain the difference between an exponent of 0 and a negative exponent?
Tip:
Always simplify expressions step by step, handling parentheses, exponents, and negative signs systematically for clarity.
