Question

Solve the expression 2(1.6^0 + 7) -4.9^0

Answer 1

To solve the expression, we start by calculating the values inside the parentheses:

1.6^0 = 1 (for any number raised to the power of 0, the result is always 1)
7

Next, we calculate the result inside the parentheses:

1 + 7 = 8

Now, we substitute this value back into the expression:

2(8) - 4.9^0

Next, we calculate the value of the exponent:

4.9^0 = 1 (again, any number raised to the power of 0 is always 1)

Now, we substitute this value back into the expression:

2(8) - 1

Next, we perform the multiplication:

2 * 8 = 16

Now, we substitute this value back into the expression:

16 - 1

Finally, we subtract:

16 - 1 = 15

So, the expression simplifies to 15.
