Answer:

3⁰ = 1

x⁰ = 1

Explanation:

You want powers of 3 filled in your table from an exponent of 4 down to an exponent of 0.

Powers of 3

3⁴ = 3·3·3·3 = 81 . . . . . . 3 is a factor 4 times

3³ = 3·3·3 = 27 . . . . . . . 3 is a factor 3 times

Each row of the table has 3 being a factor of 3^x one fewer times, so each value of 3^x is 1/3 of the previous value.

The last two rows of the table are ...

3¹ = 3

3⁰ = 1

See the attachment for the whole table.

In general, the meaning of x⁰ is ...

x⁰ = 1

__

Additional comment

In algebra, 0⁰ = 1 is the usual definition. In some contexts (mathematical analysis, calculus), it may be "undefined."

That means x⁰ = 1 for all real numbers x, including x = 0.
