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 💀)
In: Mathematics
There’s a pattern of multiplication and division with exponents. 5^3 is 5x5x5. 5^2 is 5×5. 5^1 is 5. We’re dividing by 5 each time, so 5^0 is…1. This happens with any whole number. Divide again. 1/5 = 5^-1. 5^-2 = 1/5^2.
