What is the value of (50^0)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 1
Since 50 is non-zero, the zero-exponent rule applies: for any non-zero number \(a\), \(a^0=1\). Hence, \(50^0=1\). It is not 0; zero is the exponent, not the value of the expression. Exam tip: Before applying this rule, check that the base is not 0.
