(10) ^0 =

OpenStudy (zehanz):

It has everything to do with a rule for powers: a^b / a^c = a^(b-c). E.g. 10^5 / 10^2 = 1-^(5-2) = 10^3. If you want the rule to hold always, then you must define what 10^0 means. This is not difficult, because: 10^3 / 10^3 = 10^(3-3) = 10^0. But: if you divide two numbers that are equal, you get 1. So : 10^0=1

Second line should read: E.g. 10^5 / 10^2 = 10^(5-2) = 10^3.
