Question

How does the division rule for exponents help in understanding why anything to the zero power is 1?

Answer 1

i am not sure if the division rule for exponents is this
\[\frac{ x^{m} }{ x^{n} }=x^{m-n}\]
for x different of 0

Answer 2

u talking about that ?

Answer 3

alright thanks i am in 9th grade so you probably have learned this yet

Answer 4

if you are talking about that lets say x can be any number except 0 we would have
\[x^{0}\] we can rewrite that as lets say \[x^{2-2}\] which is same as \[\frac{ x^{2} }{ x^{2} }=1\]

Answer 5

the thing in doing is e2020 and it asking me the write a journal about the question

Answer 6

so i dunno how much i helped , i hope it helped if u need something more ask ..

Answer 7

do u no how i could right in a sentence

Answer 8

ok so u can write it like this
in the division rule we substract the exponents of the numerator and denominator , so in order for them to be 0 they need to be equal , which means the denominator and the numerator are equals and whenever we have equal numerator and denominator we can simplify to 1.
