Zero and Positive Integral Exponents

This document discusses how to apply laws involving zero and negative integral exponents. It provides examples of rewriting expressions with zero or negative exponents into equivalent expressions with only positive exponents. These laws state that any non-zero number to the zero power is equal to 1, and any non-zero number to a negative power is equal to the reciprocal of that number to the positive power of the exponent. The document concludes with practice and quiz questions to rewrite additional expressions using these laws.
