What is the value of (100^0)?
Advertisement
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 1
For any non-zero number, the zero-exponent rule is \(a^0=1\), where \(a\ne0\). Since \(100\) is non-zero, \(100^0=1\). It is not \(0\); an exponent of zero does not mean multiplying the number by zero. Exam tip: whenever you see \(a^0\), first check that the base is not zero.
