(-2.3)^0 = 1
Two other expressions equal to this:
- 2.3^0 = 1
- (-5)^0 = 1
Why: For any nonzero number a, a^0 = 1. One way to see this is using exponent laws: a^m / a^m = a^{m-m} = a^0, but the left side equals 1, so a^0 = 1. Here a = −2.3 (which is nonzero), so (−2.3)^0 = 1. (Note: 0^0 is undefined.)
