Math is fun...

Oh, yeah!

While we're on the subject of math, what does any number with an exponent of zero equal one instead of zero or that same number?

x to the n-th power equals x times (x to the n-th minus one power).
So, 5 cubed is equal to 5 times (5 squared) and 5 squared is equal to 5 times (5 to the first power).
Therefore, 5 is equal to 5 times (5 to the zero power).
5 = 5 x 1
