What does it meant to raise a number to the zeroth power?What is
What does it meant to raise a number to the zeroth power?What is
Does = 0?
• = because we add the exponents when the bases are the same• But this is a contradiction because we also know that anything we
multiply by zero is zero
What does it meant to raise a number to the zeroth power?What is
Does = 3?
• = (3
• But this is a contradiction because we can see that this is but should be based on the rule for multiplying exponents
Simplify the following expression as much as possible

Wrap Up
The property that we looked at today tells us that any base raised to the zero power is equal to 1
