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:
[tex]2^{-2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{2^2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
So let's try to do the same thing with 0 with a negative exponent.
[tex]0^{-2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{0^2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{1}{0}[/tex]
This is a big no-no. You can never 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 =)
