what is the value of 0^-10?
Answers
Answer:
0
Step-by-step explanation:
0×0×0×0×0×0×0×0×0×0×0=0
Answer:
The value of 0⁻¹⁰ is infinite (∞) or not defined.
Concept:
Exponents and powers.
Exponents and powers are ways of representing very large numbers and very small numbers in a simple manner. For eg: 2×2×2×2×2×2 can be written using exponents as 2⁶ where 2 is called the base and 6 is called the exponent.
There are three main rules associated with exponents -
1. Multiplication Law
2. Division Law
3. Negative Exponent Law
In this problem, we are going to use the negative exponent law which says that if any base has a negative exponent, then it is equal to its reciprocal but with a positive exponent.
a⁻ˣ = 1/aˣ
Given:
0⁻¹⁰
Solution:
Let 0⁻¹⁰ be p.
According to the negative exponent rule, we have
∴ p = 0⁻¹⁰
= 1/ 0¹⁰
Now, aⁿ = a×a×a×a×a×----------- n times.
p = 1/(0×0×0×0×0×0×0×0×0×0)
p = 1/0
but 1/0 is undefined i.e., it is infinite.
∴ p = ∞
Hence, the value of 0⁻¹⁰ = p = ∞ (infinite).
