Explain, why anything raised to a zero exponent not zero? please provide an example. please help!!

The way I like to think about exponentiation is to start with the number one and keep multiplying it with the base.

Example:

10^2 = ?

Start with the value one and keep multiplying it with the base. Because the exponent is two we will multiply twice.

1

1 * 10 = 10

The new value is 10

10 * 10 = 100

Now we have found our answer. Now lets take an example where this time the exponent is zero.

10^0

Start with the value one. We will multiply zero times because the exponent is zero.

10^0 = 1

Hope this helps!
