Question

What's the value of 280?

Question 5 options:

28


1


0


128

Answer 1

280^0 is 1

Explanation:

with exponents u have to multiply the base (280) by whatever the exponent is (0), but since the exponent is 0, use multiplicative identity to get 1. any number to ^0 is 1 because its the same as the product on no number at all (0)

its really confusing but i tried my best to explain it lol T-T

Answer 2

28⁰ = 1

Explanation:

If you raise a number to the power of zero, it becomes 1, regardless of the number. The only exception is 0⁰, which is undefined. Any other value to the power of zero equals one.

The easiest way to see it is like this:

Pick any value, we'll call it x

x⁴ = x⁵ / x

x³ = x⁴ / x

x² = x³ / x

x¹ = x² / x

x⁰ = x¹ / x

Because x¹ is equal to x, then x⁰ is just x/x, which is always equal to 1, unless x is equal to zero.
