Evaluate 5⁰: Understanding the Zero Exponent Rule

Question

$5^0=$

00:03 Let's solve this problem together.

00:06 Remember, if any number, let's call it A, is raised to the power of zero, it equals one.

00:12 This only works if A is not zero.

00:16 Now, apply this rule to the question we have.

00:20 And there you have it, that's the solution!

We use the power property:

$X^0=1$ We apply it to the problem:

$5^0=1$ Therefore, the correct answer is C.

$1$
