Anything multiplied by 0 is 0 right so why does x number raised to the power of 0 = 1? isnt it x^0 = x*0 (im turning grade 10 and i asked my teacher about this he told me its because its just what he was taught 💀)

it’s actually rlly cool lol. so yk how if you have like 2 to the 5th divided by 2 to the 3rd.. 5-3=2 so you get 2 to the 2nd. now say you have 2 to the 3rd divided by 2 to the 3rd. 3-3=0 so you get 2 to the 0. but you ALSO just divided a number by itself, which is ALWAYS 1. this applies to any number too
