Questions:
1. How did you solve the given problem?
2. What concepts have you applied?
3. How did you apply your knowledge of the laws of integral exponents in
answering the given problem?

B. Establishing a Purpose for the Activity: Agree or Disagree!

Lesson
Read each statement under the column STATEMENT then write A if you agree with
the statement; otherwise, write D. Write your answer on the “Response-Before-
the-discussion” column.

Questions:
1. How did you find the activity?
2. What mathematical concepts or principles
did you apply to come up with your
response?
C. Presenting Examples/ Instances Raising a Number to a Zero Exponent
of the Lesson
Definition: a 0 =1 (a≠0)
Example 1
=1
Example 2
=1
Example 3
=1

Note 1: = 1 is a convention, that is, we agree that raising any number to the
power 0 is 1. We cannot multiply a number by itself zero times.

Note 2: In the case of zero raised to the power 0 (written ), mathematicians

have been debating this for hundreds of years. It is most commonly regarded as
having value 1, but is not so in all places where it occurs. That's why we write a≠0.

Raising a Number to Negative Exponents

Definition

(once again, a≠0)

In this exponent rule, a cannot equal 0 because you cannot have 0 on the bottom
of a fraction.
Example 1

Example 2

Explanation: 0 and Negative Exponents. Observe the following decreasing pattern

What do you notice about each step? Now continuing beyond, what do you
notice?

Using a as base and m and n as exponent
