root 5 * root 0. Is anything to the square root of zero 1? I don't really remember but I think thats it.

Is anything to the square root of zero 1?

I'm thinking that this question is not properly worded.

The phrase "anything to the square root of zero" means x^sqrt(0), where x is "anything".

I don't believe that you're thinking about sqrt(0) as an exponent.

Are you trying to ask whether or not the square root of zero is always zero ?

It is because zero is the only number that produces zero when multiplied by itself.

0^2 = 0 so sqrt(0) = 0

ooohh okay thank you

"anything to the..."

If you want to indicate exponentiation, then you don't use the asterisk. You would use the "^."
If you mean exponentiation, then it could be

\(\displaystyle {\sqrt{5}^\sqrt{0}} = 1\)

No, anything [raised] to the square root of zero is not 1. The exception is \(\displaystyle 0^0\), which is indeterminate.
