Raising a Power to a Power• Simplify and evaluate expressions of raising a power to a

power of integer exponents.

Goal for today:

Goal: Be able to apply

properties of exponents to generate equivalent numerical expressions

Agenda: Review – Power Rule Evaluate expressions with a zero

What does it meant to raise a number to the zeroth power?What is

What does it meant to raise a number to the zeroth power?What is

Does = 0?

• = because we add the exponents when the bases are the same• But this is a contradiction because we also know that anything we

multiply by zero is zero

What does it meant to raise a number to the zeroth power?What is

Does = 3?

• = (3

• But this is a contradiction because we can see that this is but should be based on the rule for multiplying exponents

Simplify the following expression as much as possible

Wrap Up

The property that we looked at today tells us that any base raised to the zero power is equal to 1
