Which of the following shows the correct process of solving - 4(3 + 12 ^ 0) + 15 ^ 0 by generating an equivalent expression using the Zero Power Rule? (1 point)

Question

O - 4(3 + 12 ^ 0) + 15 ^ 0 = - 4(15) + 15 = - 60 + 15 = - 45

O - 4(3 + 12 ^ 0) + 15 ^ 0 = - 4(15) + 1 = - 60 + 1 = - 59

O - 4(3 + 12 ^ 0) + 15 ^ 0 = - 4(3 + 1) + 1 = - 4 * 4 + 1 = - 16 + 1 = - 15

O - 4(3 + 12 ^ 0) + 15 ^ 0 = - 4(3 + 1) + 1 = - 4 * 4 + 1 = - 4 * 5 = - 20

Answer 1

The correct process of solving - 4(3 + 12 ^ 0) + 15 ^ 0 by generating an equivalent expression using the Zero Power Rule is:

- 4(3 + 12 ^ 0) + 15 ^ 0 = - 4(3 + 1) + 1 = - 4 * 4 + 1 = - 16 + 1 = - 15
