I need some help with simplifying this expression.
(a^2b^0c)^0
I know zero means 1 but im still unsure of how this expression should look any help would be great!

You are correct. The zero power equals one...
*unless* a=0, in which case, the statement is indeterminate:

The answer is either 1 (if ALL of a, b, c are non-zero), or it's undefined (if one or more of a, b, c is/are zero).
Anything finite and non-zero raised to the zeroth power (which is the final operation) will be 1. There's nothing else to do with it. If one or more of a, b, or c is zero, you have 0^0 in the expression, which is simply undefined.
Live long and prosper.

anything to the zero power is 1 so if the entire expression is to the zero power, the answer is 1

the answer is 1 since anything to the power of 0 is 1

(a^2b^0c)^0
=(1c)^0
=1 because any number raised to ZERO is UNITY (i.e.1)

any number raised to zero is always equal to 1.
hope that helps.

Remeber your order of operations P-E-M-D-A-S the answer is 1;

(a²bºc)º =
(a² *1*c)º =
(a²c)º = 1
