Powers - special cases - Examples, Exercises and Solutions

We use the zero exponent rule.

$X^0=1$We obtain

$112^0=1$Therefore, the correct answer is option C.

In order to solve the exercise, we use the negative exponent rule.

$a^{-n}=\frac{1}{a^n}$

We apply the rule to the given exercise:

$19^{-2}=\frac{1}{19^2}$

We can then continue and calculate the exponent.

$\frac{1}{19^2}=\frac{1}{361}$

We begin by using the power rule of negative exponents.

$a^{-n}=\frac{1}{a^n}$We then apply it to the problem:

$$$4^{-1}=\frac{1}{4^1}=\frac{1}{4}$We can therefore deduce that the correct answer is option B.

We use the power property:

$X^0=1$We apply it to the problem:

$5^0=1$Therefore, the correct answer is C.

We use the property of powers of a negative exponent:

$a^{-n}=\frac{1}{a^n}$We apply it to the problem:

$5^{-2}=\frac{1}{5^2}=\frac{1}{25}$

Therefore, the correct answer is option d.

Using the rules of negative exponents: how to raise a number to a negative exponent:

$a^{-n}=\frac{1}{a^n}$We apply it to the problem:

$$$$$7^{-24}=\frac{1}{7^{24}}$Therefore, the correct answer is option D.

To begin with, we must remind ourselves of the Negative Exponent rule:

$a^{-n}=\frac{1}{a^n}$We apply it to the given expression :

$\frac{1}{12^3}=12^{-3}$Therefore, the correct answer is option A.

We use the power property for a negative exponent:

$a^{-n}=\frac{1}{a^n}$We apply it to the given expression:

$\frac{1}{2^9}=2^{-9}$

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.

We use the negative exponent rule.

$b^{-n}=\frac{1}{b^n}$

We apply it to the problem in the opposite sense.:

$$$$$\frac{1}{8^3}=8^{-3}$

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.

When we have a negative number raised to a power, the location of the minus sign is very important.

If the minus sign is inside or outside the parentheses, the result of the exercise can be completely different.

When the minus sign is inside the parentheses, our exercise will look like this:

(-8)*(-8)=

Since we know that minus times minus is actually plus, the result will be positive:

(-8)*(-8)=64

We use the power property for a negative exponent:

$a^{-n}=\frac{1}{a^n}$We will write the fraction in parentheses as a negative power with the help of the previously mentioned power:

$\frac{1}{4}=\frac{1}{4^1}=4^{-1}$We return to the problem, where we obtained:

$\big(\frac{1}{4}\big)^{-1}=(4^{-1})^{-1}$We continue and use the power property of an exponent raised to another exponent:

$(a^m)^n=a^{m\cdot n}$And we apply it in the problem:

$(4^{-1})^{-1}=4^{-1\cdot-1}=4^1=4$Therefore, the correct answer is option d.

Let's solve the problem step by step using the Zero Exponent Rule, which states that any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1.

• Consider the expression: $100^0$.
• According to the Zero Exponent Rule, if we have any non-zero number, say $a$, then $a^0 = 1$.
• Here, $a = 100$ which is clearly a non-zero number, so following the rule, we find that:
• $100^0 = 1$.

Therefore, the expression $100^0$ is equivalent to 1.

First, let's recall the negative exponent rule:

$b^{-n}=\frac{1}{b^n}$We'll apply it to the expression we received:

$10^{-5}=\frac{1}{10^5}=\frac{1}{100000}=0.00001$In the final steps, we performed the exponentiation in the numerator and then wrote the answer as a decimal.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.

We begin by using the power rule of negative exponents.

$a^{-n}=\frac{1}{a^n}$We then apply it to the problem:

$$$2^{-5}=\frac{1}{2^5}=\frac{1}{32}$We can therefore deduce that the correct answer is option A.

We begin by using the power property for a negative exponent:

$b^{-n}=\frac{1}{b^n}$We apply it to the problem:

$(-7)^{-3}=\frac{1}{(-7)^3}$We then subsequently notice that each whole number inside the parentheses is raised to a negative power (that is, the number and its negative coefficient together) When using the previously mentioned power property: We are careful to take this into account,

We then continue by simplifying the expression in the denominator of the fraction, remembering the exponentiation property for the power of terms in multiplication:

$(a^m)^n=a^{m\cdot n}$We apply the resulting expression

$\frac{1}{(-7)^3}=\frac{1}{(-1\cdot7)^3}=\frac{1}{(-1)^3\cdot7^3}=\frac{1}{-1\cdot7^3}=\frac{1}{-7^3}=-\frac{1}{7^3}$

In summary we are able to deduce that the solution to the problem is as follows:

$(-7)^{-3}=\frac{1}{(-7)^3}=\frac{1}{-7^3}=-\frac{1}{7^3}$

$$$$Therefore, the correct answer is option B.
