Question

what does it mean to raise a number to the power of 0? you can look at patterns with exponents to find out. what is the value of 3^1? 3^1 =

3^n	value
3^3	27
3^2	9
3^1	?
3^0

Explanation:

Step1: Recall exponent - 1 rule

Any non - zero number raised to the power of 1 is the number itself.

Step2: Apply the rule to 3^1

For \(3^1\), by the rule \(a^1=a\) (\(a = 3\)), we have \(3^1=3\).

Step3: Recall exponent - 0 rule

Any non - zero number raised to the power of 0 is 1. So \(3^0 = 1\).

Answer:

\(3^1 = 3\), \(3^0=1\)
