Using one of the laws of exponents, prove that any number raised to the 0'th power equals 1.
\n" ); document.write( "WE KNOW X^M/X^N=(X*X*X*....M TIMES)/(X*X*X.....N TIMES)=X^(M-N)
\n" ); document.write( "IF WE TAKE M=N IN THIS WE GET
\n" ); document.write( "X^M/X^M=(X*X*X*....M TIMES)/(X*X*X*.....M TIMES)=1=X(M-M)=X^0
\n" ); document.write( "HENCE X^0=1 \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
