solve. write your answer as an integer or a fraction in simplest form.
$1 = 7^x$
$x = \square$

Step1: Recall exponent rule for 1

Any non-zero number to the power of 0 equals 1, i.e., $a^0 = 1$ for $a
eq 0$.

Step2: Match to the given equation

We have $7^x = 1$, so by the rule above, $x$ must be 0.
