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 💀)

Not sure if anyone shared this yet, but you can think of powers as ways to arrange things.

You roll a 6 sided die, one time, there are six outcomes.

You roll a 6 sided die, five times, there are 6^5 outcomes.

If you don’t roll a die, there is one outcome. The non-action isn’t counted as zero, but it is the only possible outcome and is counted as one.
