When Zero is in Power Any number with power 0 = 1 Thus, 9870 = 1 And 1 < 9860, so the balance falls Why π΅πππππ^π=π? Letβs take an example - π^π Now, we can write π^π=π^(πβπ) = 2^4/2^4 = (2 Γ 2 Γ 2 Γ 2)/(2 Γ 2 Γ 2 Γ 2) = 1 Similarly, we can prove the same for any number, and any power Thus, we write π^π=π Where a β 0
