What is the value of (5^0)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 1
Any non-zero number raised to the power 0 equals 1. Therefore, \(5^0=1\). Choosing 0 is a common error from applying exponent rules incorrectly; here the base, 5, is non-zero. Exam tip: remember that \(a^0=1\) only when \(a\ne0\).
