Answer:
Zero Exponent Rule
Considering several ways in which we can define an exponential number, we can derive the zero-exponent rule by considering the following:
x 2/x 2 = 1. Considering the division rule, when we divide numbers with same base, we subtract the exponents.
x2/x 2 = x 2 – 2 = x 0 but we already know that x2/x2 = 1; therefore x 0= 1
Hence, we can conclude that any number, except zero raised to the zero power is 1.
Verification of the zero-exponent rule
Let the number 8 0 be an exponential term. In this case 8 is the base and zero is the exponent.
But since we know that multiplication of one and any exponential number is equivalent to the exponential number itself.
⟹⟹ 8 0 = 1× 8 0 = 1×1
Now, we write the number 1 and the base number 8 zero times.
⟹⟹ 8 0 = 1
