(X)2(x-2)/3 = ?
ASSUMING that both X and x really represent the SAME VALUE: = x2•(x-2) ÷ 3
can also be written as (1/3)(xo) = 1/3 since anything (except zero) raised to the 0 power is1.

00 is an "indeterminant form."
In some cases 00 = 1!

In NO cases does 00 EQUAL 1. Indeed, it's an indeterminate form, and you may have in mind some limit.
But the rules of Algebra for xm divided by xn dictate that x≠0...this prohibition is part & parcel of that Law of Exponents.
