x to the n divided by x to the n is 1. By the law of powers x to the power n divided by x to the power n is x to the power (n minus n), ie x to the power zero. Things which are equal to the same thing are equal to each other. Therefore x to the power zero = 1. (Unless x = zero!)
5^3 = 5 x 5 x 5
x to the power 2 = (x to the power 3)/x; x to the power 1 = (x to the power 2)/x; x to the power 0 = (x to the power 1)/x. As x to the power 1 is merely x then the last expression is equivalent to x/x, ie 1.
maybe its a multiplication .
10 x * 40x = 400x

The total magnification of a compound microscope is calculated by multiplying the magnification of the objective lens by the magnification of the eyepiece. So, total magnification = magnification of objective lens x magnification of eyepiece.
The product of the eyepiece magnification and the objective lens magnification gives the total magnification of a compound microscope. This total magnification determines how much larger the specimen will appear when viewed through the microscope.
The magnifying power of a microscope refers to how much larger an object appears when viewed through the microscope compared to when viewed with the naked eye. It is typically represented by a number followed by "x" (e.g. 10x means the object appears 10 times larger).
x to the power a divided by x to the power b is x to the power (a - b) When a and b are equal then this is x to the power a divided by x to the power a, ie 1. x to the power (a - a) = x to the power zero. Things which are equal to the same thing are equal to each other, so 1 = x to the power zero.
no
Not at all as both times the biologist is using the "X" lens.
SEM, scanning electron microscope
The number followed by x on a microscope refers to the level of magnification, indicating how much closer the object will appear compared to the naked eye. For example, 10x magnification means the object will appear 10 times larger than its actual size.
103 = 10 x 10 x 10
