Answer:
1. All numbers on collumn B has a exponent.
2.Therefore, it is proven that any number or expression raised to the power of zero is always equal to 1. In other words, if the exponent is zero then the result is 1. The general form of zero exponent rule is given by: a 0 = 1.
3. "ZERO POWER RULE"
If a certain number is raised to zero, the answer is always (1).
4.They share the same pattern.
5. A number raised to a negative power is equal to one over the number raised to the positive opposite power.
6. Yes, any number, except 0, when raised to 0 will always result in 1.
7. Zero to the power of zero is a mathematical expression with no agreed-upon value.
8.Yes, expressions with negative integral exponents can be written with a positive integral exponent by getting the reciprocal of the base.
