Question

Practice: Organizing Information
Complete the chart to describe the exponents laws and rules.

Answer 1

`7^0=1`.

So here, it seems that you know for any nonzero real number b, the zero exponent rule states that
`b^0 = 1`. Now,
`b` is just a general form for any base. This rule is always true for any nonzero number, including 7, for the problem you are solving.

For instance, I'm sure you would agree that
`(3)/(3) = 1` (identity or inverse rule). Now, isn't this the same thing as writing
`(3^1)/(3^1) = 1`? By the quotient rule, you can similarly write
`3^(1-1)=3^0=1`.
