an exponent gives the number of times a number is multiplied with itself...\n$2^4 = 2\\cdot2\\cdot2\\cdot2$\n...with two exceptions:\n1) any number to the 1 power is always the same.\n$\\left(\\frac{1}{2}\\right)^1 = \\frac{1}{2}$\n2) any number to the 0 power is always 1.\n$.3^0 = 1$\n$.3^0 = \\square$
