To find: A rule for the value of 0 raised to any non-zero whole number exponent.
Answer to Problem 4C
The value of 0 raised to any non-zero whole number exponent is 0.
Explanation of Solution
Given information: Consider the expression provided in the question,
Explanation:In
Base = 0, used as a factor 2 times, implies
0 raised to the power 2, therefore,
Exponent = 2
= 0
Similarly, in
Base = 0, used as a factor 3 times, implies
0 raised to the power 3, therefore,
Exponent =
= 0
Therefore,
= 0
Conclusion:
Hence, the value of 0 raised to the power to any non-zero whole number exponent is 0.
