Why is any number raised to the power 0 always 1?
Given :
Any number raised to the power zero
To do :
We have to explain, Why is any number raised to the power 0 always 1
Solution :
Any number to the zero power is just the product of no numbers at all, which is the multiplicative identity, 1.
Alternately,
We know that $\frac{a}{a} =1$.
$\frac{a^{m}}{a^{n}} =a^{m-n}$
a1=a.
Therefore,
$\frac{a}{a} =\frac{a^{1}}{a^{1}} =a^{1-1} =a^{0} =1.$
