Zero & Fractional Exponents Game
The Zero Exponent Rule states that any non-zero number raised to the power of zero is always equal to 1. A fractional exponent means you need to find a root of the base number.The denominator of the fraction tells you which root to take (like a square root or cube root). The numerator of the fraction tells you which power to raise the number to. Scroll down the page for a more detailed explanation.
 
This game focuses on the zero exponent rule and the fractional exponent rule. You will need to evaluate the expressions with either zero exponent or fractional exponents. If you make a mistake, the game will show you the correct answer.

The Zero Exponent Rule
The Zero Exponent Rule states that any non-zero number raised to the power of zero is always equal to 1.
x⁰ = 1(where x ≠ 0)
For example:
5⁰ = 1
123⁰ = 1
(−7)⁰ = 1
(1/2)⁰ = 1
The only exception is 0⁰, which is considered undefined in mathematics.
 

The Fractional Exponent Rule
Fractional Exponents
This rule connects exponents and roots. A fractional exponent means you need to find a root of the base number.
The denominator of the fraction tells you which root to take (like a square root or cube root). The numerator of the fraction tells you which power to raise the number to.
The general formula is:
\(x^{a/b} = \sqrt[b]{x^a}\)
 

This video gives a clear, step-by-step approach to use the fractional exponents rule.
