x^a/x^a=x^0
and x^a/x^a=1
as result of that x^0=1

No.
" X^0=1 it means zero time X is multiplied by itself" isn't a correct statement.

Your statement meants (0x) times (0x). What you want is X to the power of 0, which is always 1.

log 1 = 0

the symbol ^ means "to the power of"

any number to the power of 0 has the value of 1.

so x to the power of 0 also has the value of 1.

x cannot be equal to 0, because 0^0 is not definated.

One proof of x^0=1 is

x^(a-a)=(x^a)/(x^a) = 1 only if x is not equal 0.

x^y does not mean x * y.... it means
x * x * x * x ..... y times.

x^0 = x^(1-1)
= x * x^-1
= x/x
=1 (note that in this proof x != 0)

x^0 = (x^n)/(x^n)

x^(n - n) = x^0

since you have the same value on top and bottom, like if it were

(8/8), you would get 1

anything raised to the zero power is 1. Its just a law of math.

u have a mis-concept
acc. to u x^1 means "one time x is multiplied by iself ".
but which is equal to x square.
x^0 is that quntity whose log is alwas zero.
by graph of log x it is always one.
