This lesson by Casandra Vallebo explores the concept of zero as an exponent, illustrating that for every nonzero number raised to the power of zero, the answer is one. Through various examples, such as 5^0 = 1 and other forms like 3ab^0 = 3a, the principle is demonstrated clearly. Students are encouraged to practice with their own examples, highlighting the importance of understanding this fundamental concept in mathematics. Don't worry if mistakes occur; learning is part of the process.

Zero as an exponent By Casandra Vallebo Period 5
Rule: • For every nonzero number, the answer is one.
Examples! 0 • 5 = 1 • 4,567,898 = 1 • 3ab = 3a1 = 3a 0 0
Now you try! • It would be pretty sad if you got the answers wrong. • 3a b = 3(1)b = 3b • (1/3) = 1 0 0
