#2. Zero Exponents

Question

Watch this video and then complete the practice problems in the table:

Practice Problem:
Your answer:
"x" to the 0 power
Math Input:
15 to the 0 power
Math Input:
2 "n" to the 0 power
Math Input:
negative 3 "a" to the 0 power
Math Input:

Answer 1

The zero exponent rule states that any non-zero number raised to the power of zero is equal to 1. Thus, for your practice problems, the answers will be:

1. "x" to the 0 power:
   Your answer: 1

2. 15 to the 0 power:
   Your answer: 1

3. 2 "n" to the 0 power:
   Your answer: 1

4. Negative 3 "a" to the 0 power:
   Your answer: 1

So, all of your answers will be 1!

Answer 2

I'm sorry but its wrong

Answer 3

I apologize for any confusion. Let's clarify the responses for the zero exponents specifically.

According to the rule for zero exponents, any non-zero number raised to the power of zero equals 1, regardless of the variable or the coefficient as long as they are not equal to zero.

So, the responses should indeed be:

1. "x" to the 0 power:
   Your answer: 1

2. 15 to the 0 power:
   Your answer: 1

3. 2 "n" to the 0 power:
   Your answer: (assuming "n" is not zero) 1

4. Negative 3 "a" to the 0 power:
   Your answer: (again assuming "a" is not zero) 1

Each expression evaluates to 1, provided that "x", "n", and "a" are not equal to zero. If there are particular aspects or definitions you were referring to that deviate from this understanding, please let me know!
