Why can’t you raise 0 to a negative exponent?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Xelga [282]3 years ago
4 0

Step-by-step explanation:

To know this, you first have to know what a negative exponent is. A positive exponent multiplies the base by itself a given amount of times, but a negative exponent makes a fraction with 1 in the numerator and the base and exponent in the denominator. For example:

2^{-2} = \frac{1}{2^2} = \frac{1}{4}

So let's try to do the same thing with 0 with a negative exponent.

0^{-2} = \frac{1}{0^2} = \frac{1}{0}

This is a big no-no. You can <u>never</u> have 0 as the denominator since it is undefined. Therefore, you can't raise 0 to a negative exponent.


I really hope this helps you =)

What is the inverse of the function?<br> f(x) = 1/3x-5
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

        -1

       f   (x) = -3(x + 5)

Step-by-step explanation:

1)  in f(x) = 1/3x-5, replace f(x)= with y= as follows:  y = (1/3)x - 5

2) interchange x and y, obtaining:  x = (1/3)y - 5

3) solve this result for y:  (1/3)y = -x - 5, or -(x + 5).  Next, multiply both sides by                        3 to eliminate the fraction (1/3):  y = -3(x + 5)

4)  replace y with the symbol for "inverse of f(x);

        -1

       f   (x) = -3(x + 5)

Assuming the conditions regarding the motion represented in the graph remain the same, determine the acceleration of the object
vovikov84 [41]

(a)

We can see that

this is a straight line

and this is the graph of velocity

we know that

acceleration is the derivative of velocity

so, slope of curve of velocity is acceleration

so, we will find slope of this line

We can select any two points

(0,4) and (5,7)

we can use slope formula

m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}

now, we can plug points

m=\frac{7-4}{5-0}

m=0.6

we know that slope of line is always constant irrespective of any value of t

so, acceleration will always be same irrespective of any value of t

so, we will get acceleration

a(t)=0.6m/s^2............Answer

(b)

we can see that acceleration is constant

and we know that

derivative of constant is always 0

so, instantaneous rate of acceleration at t=10s is 0........Answer

4. The reference angle for 190 is<br> A. 10°<br> B. 180°<br> C. -10°<br> D. 90°
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer: A

Step-by-step explanation:  A reference angle is smallest possible angles that  terminal side makes with the x- axis. Since 190 degrees is located i the 3rd quadrant we use the formula 190-180 to find the possible answer and in this case it is A, 10.
