what is a number raised to 0?

Answer 3

0 is an exponet

Answer 4

0

Answer 5

so it would be 0?

Answer 6

Yes. When 0 is the exponent... we have a property...
\[\huge a^0 = \color{red}?\]

Answer 7

0

Answer 8

No... when something is raised to a 0 exponent, it is equal to 1, ok?
\[\huge a^0 =\color{blue}1\]

Answer 9

okay

Answer 10

So what's \[\huge 2a^0\] based on what you just found out?

Answer 11

Answer 12

NO!
\[\huge a^0 = 1\]
\[\huge \color{green}2a^0 = \color{red}?\]

Answer 13

Answer 15

Good. Glad we straightened that out :)

Answer 16

Answer 17

I thought I made it clear to you that \[\huge \color{red}{a^0 = 1}\]?

If it's not clear to you yet, digest it~

Answer 20

oooo so the a goes away and its just 2

Answer 21

Yes. Precisely.
Remember this, and remember this well...
ANYTHING when raised to a 0 exponent just becomes 1.
