In short, an exponent 'transforms' the number $1$, so $3$ (or $3^1$). The exponent $1$ 'gives the number $1$ the power to transform into $3$. The exponent $0$ provides $0$ power (i.e. gives no power of transformation), so $3^0$ gives no power of transformation to the number $1$, so $3^0=1$.

28 lip 2023 · If we start only with \(a^1=a\) and the product rule, then we can immediately prove that \(a^0=1\) because \(a^0\cdot a=a^0\cdot a^1=a^{0+1}=a^1=a\), and dividing through by a (which is assumed not to be zero), we conclude that \(a^0=1\). But then for any positive integer n, $$a^n=a^{\overset{n\text{ times}}{\overbrace{1+1+\cdots+1}}}=\overset ...
If we multiply $2^1$ by $2$, we get $2^2$; naturally if we divide $2^1$ by $2$, we should get $2^0$. And it happens that ${2^1 \over 2} = {2 \over 2} = 1$. Share
18 lut 2016 · So what does zero to the zero power equal? This is highly debated. Some believe it should be defined as 1 while others think it is 0, and some believe it is undefined.
What is raising anything to the power of 0? Raising anything to the power of 0 0 (zeroth power) makes it equal to 1. 1. Let’s look at this in three different ways: Remember, any number divided by itself is 1. 1. For example, So, x2÷x2 =1 x2 ÷ x2 = 1. Using the rules of exponents, when you divide two terms with the same base you subtract the powers.
12 lut 2018 · Since every number $x$ to the power of $1$ is equal to itself (this is also a power rule) then we can write $0^1 = 0$. Now if we want to solve for $0^0$, well according to $(1)$, we have that $0^0 = 1$. But, $$0^0 = 0^{1-1} = \frac{0^1}{0^1} = \frac{0}{0}.$$ This is where division by $0$ is introduced, and is why $0^0\neq 1$. But since $0 - 0 ...
The zero exponent rule states that any nonzero number raised to a power of zero equals one.
