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 💀)

[I like the Wikipedia explanation](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponentiation)
From the *definition* of exponentiation you get a rule that makes a lot of sense and then use algebra to demonstrate a rule that is less apparent.
So your instructor was right. He was told what it was. He just didn’t bother to remember the demonstration.
