Question

How do you simplify `(x^2)^0` and write it using only positive exponents?

Answer 1

`1`

Explanation:

Recall:

Anything to the power of `0` is equal to `1" "(0^0` is undefined.)

`:.(x^2)^0 =1`

You could also first apply the law of raising a power to a power to simplify two indices to one.

`(x^2)^0 = x^0`

`x^0=1`
