minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink2•edit-22 years agoYup 5^0 can be rewritten as 5^(2-2) 5^(2-2) = (52)/(52) This is a number divided by itself so cancels to 1 every time, regardless of #.
Rule = #^0 = # x 1
Don’t ask why…got it.
No not quite, #^0 = 1
Wait, so 5^0 = 1??
Yup
5^0 can be rewritten as 5^(2-2)
5^(2-2) = (52)/(52)
This is a number divided by itself so cancels to 1 every time, regardless of #.
