Question

Which of the following is developed to result in the answer of 1? (1 point)
A. 5^0 + 9^0
B. 13 - (7.42)^0
C.(-2.97)^0
D. 3 (8^0)

Answer 1

To determine which of the given options equals 1, we need to evaluate each expression.

A. \( 5^0 + 9^0 \)
Since any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 is 1,
\( 5^0 = 1 \) and \( 9^0 = 1 \), so
\( 5^0 + 9^0 = 1 + 1 = 2 \).

B. \( 13 - (7.42)^0 \)
Since \( (7.42)^0 = 1 \), we have
\( 13 - 1 = 12 \).

C. \( (-2.97)^0 \)
Since \( (-2.97)^0 = 1 \), this equals 1.

D. \( 3 (8^0) \)
Since \( 8^0 = 1 \), we have
\( 3 (8^0) = 3 \times 1 = 3 \).

Now we can summarize:
- A: 2
- B: 12
- C: 1
- D: 3

The only option that results in 1 is **C.** \( (-2.97)^0 \).
