Key Concepts

Here are the essential concepts you must grasp in order to answer the question correctly.

Exponent Rules

Exponent rules are mathematical principles that govern how to simplify expressions involving powers. A key rule is that any non-zero number raised to the power of zero equals one, which is crucial for evaluating expressions like 6^0 and (-6)^0.

Negative Exponents

Negative exponents indicate the reciprocal of the base raised to the corresponding positive exponent. However, in the context of zero exponents, the negative sign in expressions like -6^0 does not affect the outcome, as the exponent still evaluates to one.

Order of Operations

The order of operations is a set of rules that dictates the sequence in which mathematical operations should be performed to ensure consistent results. In this case, understanding how to evaluate expressions correctly, especially with parentheses and negative signs, is essential for matching the expressions accurately.
