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 💀)

Fucking woof at that response from your teacher, damn. For the record, x to the power of y is not x * y, but (x * x) y number of times.

For example, 2^4 is not (2 * 4), but (2 * 2 * 2 * 2)
