1. Anything to the power of 0 is 1.

Look at it this way.

2^3=8

Divide that by two, or the base.

2^3/2=2^2=4

Divide that by two.

2^2/2=2^1=2

Divide that by two.

2^1/2=2^0=1

Every time you lower an exponent by one power, you pretty much divide the number by its base.

Key terms.

Base: In 2^0, 2 is the base since you are multiplying it by itself "0 times".

The power, or exponent: In 2^0, 0 is the power/exponent since it is the number of times 2 will be multiplied.
