The Zero Exponent Rule of Exponents
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
The zero exponent rule of exponents states that any nonzero base raised to the zero power equals 1: a⁰ = 1.
Show
5³ / 5³ subtracts exponents to 5⁰ — and a number divided by itself is 1. The rule keeps the quotient rule honest.
Builds on
- Nothing — this is a starting point.
Unlocks
- Nothing yet depends on this.
