X + X 125
(2-5) 2
X + X 9
(x) 2
X + X X²
-12 2
X + X -144
(-12) 2
X + X 144
(-x) 2
X + X x² The negative x was squared. –x –x = positive x squared
-x 2
X + X -x² Only the x was squared. x x = positive x squared, BUT the number was negative, and it stays negative..

Zero to any power equals what number?
X + X 0
(-1)²
X + X 1
(-1)³
X + X
(-1) 0 = 1(-1) 4 = 1 (-1) 1 = -1(-1) 5 = -1 (-1) 2 = 1(-1) 6 = 1 (-1) 3 = -1(-1) 7 = -1
(-1) raised to an EVEN power will always equal what number?
X + X 1
(-1) raised to an ODD power will always equal what number?
X + X
5º Five to the zero power ???????
X + X 1
16º Sixteen to the zero power ???????
X + X 1
xº x to the zero power ???????
X + X 1
(xyz)º xyz to the zero power ???????
X + X 1
Any number to the zero power ???????
X + X 1
10º = 1 10¹ = 10 10² = ³ = 1000 Can you see the pattern?
X + X As the power increases by one, we multiply by ten. As the power decreases by one, we divide by ten.
5º + 2² 3²
X + X 37
2(3+1)³
X + X 128
(-1)² + (-1)³
X + X 0
