Ex. 1:

Proving that 2 to the power of 0 equals 1

This lesson explains the zero exponent rule, a to the power 0 equals 1, showing why the pattern holds true using division of powers, worked examples, and common mistakes to avoid when simplifying expressions with exponents.

Exponents: Zero exponent: a^0 = 1

Indices: Zero exponent: a^0 = 1

Zero index: a^0 = 1

Overview

Zero Exponent Rule

What You'll Learn

The zero exponent rule states that any nonzero number raised to the power of zero equals 1, written as a to the power 0 equals 1

The rule comes from dividing a power by itself, such as a to the third divided by a to the third, which simplifies to both a to the zero and to 1

The base can be a number, a variable, or an entire expression, as long as it is not equal to zero

Zero raised to the power of zero is considered undefined, so the rule only applies when the base is nonzero

Multiplying a zero exponent term by other exponent terms leaves the rest of the expression unchanged, since the zero exponent term equals 1

What You'll Practice

Proving that specific numbers to the zero power equal 1

Simplifying expressions using the zero exponent rule

Applying multiplication and negative exponent laws in proofs
