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 💀)

x5/X = x^(4)

x^(4)/X = X^(3)

X^(3)/X = X^(2) 

X^(2) /X = X^(1) 

X/X = 1 = x^(0)

1/X = X^(-1)
