Question

Solve the expression 2(1.6^0+7)−4.9^0.(1 point)
2(1.6^0+7)−4.9^0

Answer 1

To solve the expression, we follow the order of operations: parentheses first, then exponents, and finally addition/subtraction.

First, let's simplify the exponents:
1.6^0 = 1 (any number raised to the power of 0 is always 1)
4.9^0 = 1 (same reason as above)

Now, let's simplify the expression:
2(1 + 7) - 1(-4.9) = 2(8) - (-4.9) = 16 + 4.9 = 20.9

Therefore, the solution to the expression 2(1.6^0 + 7) - 4.9^0 is 20.9.
