Negative Exponents:

Negative exponents have raised power in negative integers; otherwise they are like general or positive integers. 

To simplify exponent expression with -ve powers, we need to reciprocate the expression, i.e. place 1 in the numerator and move the entire expression in the fraction's denominator.

If p-x is a negative exponent expression, we can write it as 1/px to simplify it. 

Q. Find the value of 2-4.

Solution: 2-4 = 1/24 = [1/(2 * 2 * 2 * 2)] = 1/16. 


 

Zero Exponents:

Any exponent expression with the power 0 results in 1 no matter whether its base value is extremely large or small. 

If pis an exponent, it equals one, and p can be any value. 

For example, solve (1000000)0.

Solution:  (1000000)0 = 1.
