Lesson 1 Zero and Negative

Exponents
Apply the laws involving
positive integral exponents to
zero and negative integral
exponents.

How can we make use of existing

mathematical concepts to
formulate new conclusions?

Mathematical concepts are

tools to generate new
conjectures and
generalizations.

By simply looking at the expressions in

column 1, how can you tell the type of
exponent in the quotient?
Which letter resulted to negative
exponents? Compare column 2 & 3.
What does a base raised to a negative
exponent mean?
Which letter resulted to zero
exponents? Compare column 2 & 3.
