MATHEMATICS OBJECTIVE
Students will be able to:
simplify expressions with negative and zero exponents.
evaluate expressions with negative and zero exponents.
ESSENTIAL UNDERSTANDING
A number with a negative exponent indicates multiplication by the reciprocal of that number. A number with an exponent of zero is equal to 1.
I can simplify expressions with negative and zero exponents.
I can evaluate expressions with negative and zero exponents.
Use these additional properties when simplifying or generating equivalent expressions with exponents (when a ≠ 0 and n ≠ 0).
Zero Exponent Property: a^0 = 1
Negative Exponent Property: a^(-n) = 1/a^n
