I have two doubts about a math problem:

1- Why X⁰=1?

2- Is 0⁰=1?

    0^0 is classified as 1 or undefined.

    Any number to the 0 power is 1.

    I'm not sure how to explain it in simple terms, but you should have learned about the law of exponents:

    x^a/x^b is the same things as x^a - b (basically you're subtracting the exponents)

    Here's an example with real numbers:

    2/2 = 1 ... right?

    But 2/2 can also be thought of as 2^1/2^1, which still equals 1

    So, the law of exponents tell us that 2^1-1 = 1

    Now you see why 2^0 = 1
