What is the value of (0^5)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 0
The exponent 5 is a positive integer, so \(0^5=0\times0\times0\times0\times0=0\). Option 1 is associated with the rule \(a^0=1\), but that rule does not apply to \(0^5\); \(0^0\) is a separate case. Exam tip: Any positive power of zero is zero.
