Look at this sequence:
103 = 1000
102 = 100
101 = 10
100 = 1
On the left side, the exponent reduces by one at a time; on the right side, the number decreases by a factor 10. So, the last step, 10 to the power zero = 1, is quite logical.
Note that this doesn't PROVE anything; in fact, the definition "x to the power zero = 1" might be considered an arbitrary definition. The sequence above only shows that the definition makes sense.

The greatest integer function, often denoted as ⌊x⌋, gives the largest integer less than or equal to x. For 0.7, the greatest integer is 0, since 0 is the largest integer that is less than or equal to 0.7. Thus, ⌊0.7⌋ = 0.
it would be equal to 1 only
No,because if you add -5 and 10 you get 5 which is not equal to zero. They way you would get 0 as an answer is if you add a negative integer and it's opposite like -5 and 5. Then your answer would be zero.
0 to the power 0 is 1 because any number power zero is always equal to 1.Anything to the power of 0 equals 1.
Do you mean "What is -10 to the power 0 equal to?" Any number raised to 0 evaluates to 1
