let's look at it this way
\(2^1=2;2^2=4;2^3=8;2^4=16\)
so \(2^5=2^4*2=32\)
what if you went backwards?
\(\Huge 2^3=8;2^2=2^3/2=4\)
\(\Huge 2^1=2^2/2=2\)
so what happens if you go back one more?
\(\Huge 2^0=?\)

So is it B?
OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):
basically.
OpenStudy (inkyvoyd):
this question is actually badly phrased, because \(0^0\) is usually considered undefined or indeterminant, though advanced mathematics (calculus one sided limits) sometimes assigns it the value of 1.

Example:
\[2^{3}=3\times3\times3\]
\[2^0=\]
Ya feel?
