Applying Combined Exponents Rules: The power of zero

To solve the problem of finding $7^0$, we will follow these steps:

• Step 1: Identify the general rule for exponents with zero.

• Step 2: Apply the rule to the given problem.

• Step 3: Consider the provided answer choices and select the correct one.

Now, let's work through each step:

Step 1: A fundamental rule in exponents is that any non-zero number raised to the power of zero is equal to one. This can be expressed as: $a^0 = 1$ where $a$ is not zero.

Step 2: Apply this rule to the problem: Since we have $7^0$, and $7$ is certainly a non-zero number, the expression evaluates to 1. Therefore, $7^0 = 1$.

Therefore, the solution to the problem is $7^0 = 1$, which corresponds to choice 2.

To solve this problem, let's follow these steps:

• Understand the zero exponent rule.

• Apply this rule to the given expression.

• Identify the correct answer from the given options.

According to the rule of exponents, any non-zero number raised to the power of zero is equal to $1$. This is one of the fundamental properties of exponents.
Now, apply this rule:

Step 1: We are given the expression $(-3)^0$.
Step 2: Here, $-3$ is our base. We apply the zero exponent rule, which tells us that $(-3)^0 = 1$.

Therefore, the value of $(-3)^0$ is $1$.

We use the zero exponent rule.

$X^0=1$We obtain

$112^0=1$Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
