A common explanation for this in mathematics is the laws of exponents. One law states x^l-m = x^l/x^m.

The proof is the following

x^0 = x^n-n

=x^n/x^n Law of Exponent

=1/1 Reducing

=1

How can you tell if an exponential function is exponential growth or decay by looking at its base?

It is not enough to look at the base. This is because a^x is the same as (1/a)^-x : the key is therefore a combination of the base and the sign of the exponent.0 < base < 1, exponent < 0 : growth0 < base < 1, exponent > 0 : decaybase > 1, exponent < 0 : decaybase > 1, exponent > 0 : growth.

What is the answer to 3with an exponent of 0?

3 to the exponent of 0 is 1. In fact, any non-zero number, raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1.


What is zero exponent?

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.


What is the zero exponent property?

Any number to the exponent of 0 is equal to 1. EXAMPLE x0=1


Why is 7 to exponent 0 equal to 1?

why not !


What is the meaning of a zero exponent and the meaning of a negative exponent?

The zero exponent rule basically says that any base with an exponent of zero is equal to one. For example: x^0 = 1A negative exponent is equivalent to 1 over a positive exponent.x^1 = x x^0 = 1x^-1 = 1/x


Why is a number to a negative exponent a fraction?

Because a number to the exponent 0 = 1 and any lesser exponent decreases the value.


Why is it that any number raised to the power of zero equals 1?

X0 = Xa-a (a is an integer) Xa-a = Xa / Xa = 1 ... Also: ex. 3^0 = 1 but this is also the same value as : 5^0 = 1 Hence 3^0 = 5^0 = n^0 = 1 If you had 3^2 / 3^2 the result is 1 since any value divided by itself it 1. Hence the base (here it's 3) and the exponent (here it's 2) is essentially eliminated and the result is just 1 as it would be for any other base and exponent. Mathematically, in an expression form you can eliminate (set to 0) the exponent by subtracting the exponents: 3^2 / 3^2 = 1 = 3^(2-2) = 3^0 = 1 = n^0


What does -3 with an exponent of 0 equals?

1. Any number to the power of 0 is 1.


What does it mean when the exponent is 0?
