Zero & Negative Exponents
Notes
Zero as an exponent
For every nonzero number a, a
50 = 1
( - 8)0 = 1
0
= 1…
53,4280 = 1
(1/5)0 = 1
Negative Exponents
For every nonzero number a and integer n, a-n = 1/an
10-5 = 1/105
(-6)-9 = 1/(-6)9
x-7 = ?
Simplifying a power
3-4 = 1/34 = 1/81
(-7)0 = 1
(-4)-3 = 1/(-4)3 = 1/(-64)
7-1 = 1/71 = 1/7
An algebraic expression is written in simplest form when it is written with
only positive exponents.

Scientific Notation
Format – has one nonzero digit to the left of the decimal point multiplied by
10 raised to a power. Form: a x 10n, where n is an integer and 1 ≤ a < 10.
Determine if the following numbers are written in scientific notation…
3.42 x 10-7
52 x 104
0.04 x 10-5
Writing a number in scientific notation…
Step 1: Move the decimal until there is one nonzero digit to the left of the
decimal place.
Step 2: Count the number of places the decimal was moved (this is the power
of 10) (If decimal was moved to the left, the power is positive. If the
decimal was moved to the right, the power is negative.)
Step 3: Drop any unneeded zeros.

Writing a Number in Standard Notation
Positive power – move the decimal to right. (value is greater than 1)
Negative power – move the decimal to the left. (value is less than 1)
3.2 x 1012 = 3,200,000,000,000

Ordering numbers using Scientific Notation
Step 1: Write each number in scientific notation
Step 2: Order the powers of 10. Arrange the decimals with the same power
of 10 in order.
Step 3: Write the original numbers in order…
Order from least to greatest: 60.2 x 10-5, 63 x 104, 0.067 x 103, and
61 x 10-2
6.02 x 10-4 , 6.1 x 10-1, 6.7 x 101, 6.3 x 105 so…
