ELI5, how does 2^0 power equal 1?

Question

I’m doing my GED and passed that math part but this never came up. I saw it on a meme and am lost.

Answer 1

There are some simple proofs of this fact, and here is one:

x^(n)/x^(n) = 1 (this is just a simple fact; any number over itself equals 1)

If you do that division following exponent rules, you get:

x^(n-n) = 1

x^(0) = 1
