Subject: why does n^0=1 (different from other question you got)
Why does n^0 = 1? At first my question may seem the same as the other
question in your archive, but read the whole thing please, because
it's different. I saw your other question on n^0, and you gave the
same response as the one I got from my math teacher. My question,
which she couldn't answer, is if 2^3=2*2*2, 2^2=2*2, and 2^1=2,
shouldn't, 2^0= , meaning that 2^0=0?
I already know that 2^5=2^6/2 and so on. I've tried 2^3=1*2*2*2, but
it didn't seem to make sense to have to add that 1. (In that case
2^2=1*2*2, 2^1=1*2, and 2^0=1.)
