Ws6-2 Zero and Negative Exponents

This worksheet document provides examples and practice problems for students to work through regarding zero and negative exponents. It introduces rules for evaluating expressions with zero and negative exponents, such as x0 = 1 when x ≠ 0 and x-n = 1/xn. Students are then asked to simplify expressions using these rules and evaluate answers as integers or fractions.
