How do you evaluate a power with a non-zero base that has an exponent of zero

It equal to 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Everything that is to the power of zero, equals 1

A number multiplied by itself zero times, is 1

Exponents seem pretty straightforward, right? Raise a number to the power of 1 means you have one of that number, raise to the power of 2 means you have two of the number multiplied together, power 3 means three of the number multiplied together and so on.
