Question

which expression is equivalent to $5^0$?
select the correct choice.
a 0
b $\frac{1}{5}$
c 1
d 5

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the zero - exponent rule

The zero - exponent rule states that for any non - zero real number \(a\), \(a^{0}=1\).

Step2: Apply the rule to \(5^{0}\)

Since \(5\) is a non - zero real number, by the zero - exponent rule, \(5^{0} = 1\).
