how am i supposed to use the quotient of powers property to show that zero to the zero power is undefined?

The power of a quotient is equal to the quotient obtained when the dividend and divisor are each raised to the indicated power separately, before the division is performed - so I'm assuming that this is what the quotient of powers property is.

So perhaps the argument would be something like this:
0^0 = 0^(1-1)
= (0^1) / (0^1)
= 0 / 0
which is undefined. (I'm not certain that this is the answer you're looking for, but it seems to fit the question.)

To use the quotient of powers property to show that zero to the zero power is undefined, we need to understand the property and then apply it to the expression.

The quotient of powers property states that when you have the same base and you divide two numbers with exponents, you subtract the exponents. Mathematically, it can be written as:

a^m / a^n = a^(m - n)

Now, let's consider the expression zero to the zero power (0^0). According to the quotient of powers property, we can write it as:

0^0 = 0^1 / 0^1

Next, we know the property that any number divided by itself is equal to 1. So, we can simplify the expression further:

0^0 = 0^1 / 0^1 = 0 / 0 = 1

At this point, we end up with an indeterminate form, where division by zero occurs. Division by zero is undefined in mathematics. Therefore, based on the application of the quotient of powers property, we can conclude that zero to the zero power is undefined.
