What is $(5^{-2})^0 + (5^0)^3$?
To simplify this expression, I need to apply the rules of exponents. First, I notice that any number raised to the zero power is equal to 1, so $(5^{-2})^0 = 1$. Next, I see that raising a power to another power means multiplying the exponents, so $(5^0)^3 = 5^{0 \cdot 3} = 5^0 = 1$. Therefore, the expression is equivalent to $1 + 1 = 2$.
