5 raised to the power 3 equals 5 x 5 x 5 = 125

a to the power of 3 equals a x a x a

zero to the power 3 = 0 x 0 x 0 = 0

zero to the power 10 = 0 x 0 x 0 x 0 x 0 x 0 x 0 x 0 x 0 x 0 = 0

So you can see that no matter how many times we multiply zero by itself the answer is always zero.

Hence zero raised to the power zero equals zero
