In order to understand why everything to the zeroth power equal one, let's do some examples.
8^0
= 8^(1-1)
= (8^1)(8^-1)
= (8)(1/8)
= 8/8
= 1
2^0
= 2^(2-2)
= (2^2)(2^-2)
= (4)(1/2^2)
= (4)(1/4)
= 4/4
= 1
(x + 1)^0
= (x + 1)^(1-1)
= [(x + 1)^1][(x + 1)^-1]
= (x+ 1)[1/(x + 1)]
= (x + 1)/(x + 1)
= 1

Anything to the zeroth power is one. It doesn't matter what x is. 2 to the zeroth power is one.
What is the value of ten to the power of zero?
I don't like this answer, but according to mathematical theory, anything but zero ,to the zeroth power is set equal to "one".
What is 20 to the zeroth power?
When we raise a number to the zeroth power, that means we multiply the number by itself zero times. So, the reason that any number to the zero power is one is because any number to the zero power is just the product of no numbers at all, which is the multiplicative identity, 1.
0 to the 0 power is?
Zero to the zeroth power is commonly held to be one (1) by several definitions and ways of determining it. Some uses may define it as zero as well, or as another number or undefined.
What is 2 to the negative one power?
