The rule of the zero exponent is that the outcome always equals 1. Is this also true for negatice numbers? And is that outcome positive or negative?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Think of a zero exponent x^0 as x^a / x^a; this is the same as x^(a-a) = x^0. As far as x^a / x^a is concerned, it doesn't matter what value x has, positive or negative; x^a when divided by itself it is always +1

positive 1. Anything raised to the zero power is 1.

-6^0 = -1
(-6)^0 = 1
