Understanding Exponent Properties

The video tutorial explains why any non-zero number raised to the power of zero equals one, using exponent properties. It starts by demonstrating the concept with 5^0, showing how it can be rewritten using the product property of exponents. The tutorial then generalizes this method for any non-zero value of x, concluding that x^0 equals one. This explanation helps clarify the exponent rule in a simple and logical manner.
