Why is any number to the zero power equal 1 example for kids?

Mathematics

Think of the power series ^2, ^3 etc as defining the characteristics of the <em>line on a graph</em> that the power function draws.

The awful reality is that the logical answer is buried in the axioms of set theory. So instead of having to teach kids axioms and derivations, just draw the lines on a graph as i described.

^0 = a line with zero slope, ^1 = a straight line with a slope of 1, ^2 = an exponential line... etc...

For kids, relating the power series to the shapes of lines on a graph will also help them later on when they learn about functions etc (like y = mx + c). Being able to associate the different powers with actual shapes on a graph will also help them to visualize relationships in physics, should they take that path. It's not the real truth, but a nice correlation with it's own merits.

The width of the figure below is 5 units. The perimeter of the figure is 18 units. What is the length of the figure in units?
Talja [164]
The perimeter is all sides length added together. You can make an equation:5+5+x+x where x is the length.
5+5=10    18-10=8     There is two sides so you do eight divided by two
The length is 4
