If a number (other than 0) has 0 as an exponent, it equals 1! It may be hard to believe but it is true, no matter what number. If a number has no exponent, there is basically an invisible 1 as the exponent, so the number would be equal to itself. Zero with the exponent zero is meaningless.
it equals 0. 0 x 0 will always be 0
Any number to the exponent of 0 is equal to 1. EXAMPLE x0=1
One way to view the exponent, especially when it is a natural number, is how many times something need to be multiplied by itself. So 4^5 has exponent 5 and base 4 and it means 4 multiplied by itself 5 times, ie 4x4x4x4x4 We can then extent this to negative integers and to an exponent of zero and then to rational exponents. More on that if you want to know.
Any value with a 'zero' exponent is equaL TO '1'. A^(0) = 1 proof Let a^(0) =. a^(n - n) = a^(n) / a^(n) Cancel down by a^(n) hence it equals '1'.
