Anything to the zeroth power is 1 by definition.

Almost anything to the power of 0 is equal to 1. You can see this by thinking about the numbers x^3, x^2, x^1, x^0. You can see that you get each one by dividing the previous one by x. So x^0 must mean x^1 divided by x, which means x/x which is equal to 1.
The only exception is if x is equal to zero. Zero to the power of zero is not 1. In fact, it is not anything at all. It's an operation you can't perform, because you can't divide 0 by 0 to calculate it.
So in this case, your answer is 1 unless the thing in brackets happens to be zero, in which case, the answer is undefined.

It is whatever is inside the brackets to the power 0.
That will always be 1

the answer is 1.. any number raise to zero equals 1.

It is a math question that you don't know the answer to.
