Answer:

Any non-zero number raised to the power of zero is equal to one. Zero raised to the power of zero is equal to zero.

Explanation:

This is one way to think about it

Remember the exponent law where
a^(m) * a^(n) = a^(m+n). Therefore, I can create the equation
5^(0) and expand it to
5^(1) * 5^(-1). When calculating this, I get 5*(1/5), which is 1.

This is true for any non-zero number.
