Negative exponents work like this:

So, in order to evaluate a negative exponent, you simply have to invert the base, and then raise to the positive equivalent of the exponent.

(a) False. The number 7 is NOT an element of set B as 7 is not in the set B (2, 3, 4 and 0 are though)

(c) True. The value 0 is found in set B. It is the last element listed.
Final Answer: Choice C)
