Answer 2

To find the equivalent expression, we need to simplify the expressions inside the parentheses, simplify any exponents, and then perform any remaining operations.

Using the order of operations:

1/2(9−7^0) = 1/2(9-1) = 1/2(8) = 4

(−29)^0 = 1

Therefore, the equivalent expression is:

4 + 1 = 5

None of the given options are equivalent to 5.

Answer 3

Apologies for the confusion.

To simplify the expression:

1/2(9-7^0)
= 1/2(9-1)
= 1/2(8)
= 4

(-29)^0
= 1

Now, the expression becomes:

4 + 1 = 5

Therefore, the equivalent expression is 5.

None of the given options are equivalent to 5.
