12/3/2007 Pre Algebra - Zero & Negative Exponents

Today we introduced the rules for zero and negative exponents. Simply put, negative exponents change places in the fraction and become positive, for example three to the negative 2nd power on the top becomes three to the positive second power on the bottom. Also, any number or expression to the zero power becomes 1.
