Zero Exponent Rule Worksheet

Zero Exponent Rule

Read each question carefully and simplify the expressions using the zero exponent rule. Remember that any non-zero base raised to the power of zero is equal to 1.

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

2. According to the zero exponent rule, 5⁰ =  .

3. If x ≠ 0, then x⁰ =  .

4. Which of the following expressions is equivalent to 1?

5. Simplify the expression: (3ab)⁰

6. Simplify: 12⁰

7. Simplify: (-4)⁰

8. Simplify: -(4)⁰

9. Simplify: (x²y³)⁰, where x≠0 and y≠0

10. Simplify: 5a⁰ + 3, where a≠0

11. The expression 0⁰ is always equal to 1.

12. If m is any real number, then (m)⁰ = 1.

13. Simplify the expression: (2x⁰y⁴)³ / (4y¹²), where x≠0 and y≠0. Show your steps.

14. Evaluate: ( (5⁰ + 2⁰) / (3⁰ - 1⁰) )⁰, where the denominator is not zero.
