Anything with a zero exponent is 1. Positive exponents tell how many times to multiply a base number. Negative exponents tell how many times to divide a base number.

Negative exponents are the reciprocals of positive ones.

10^2 = 100

10^1 = 10

10^0 = 1

10^-1 = 1/10

10^-2 = 1/100

3^2 = 9

3^1 = 3

3^0 = 1

3^-1 = 1/3

3^-2 = 1/9
