To determine which of the expressions results in an answer of 1, we evaluate each one.
-
\(5^0 + 9^0\):
- Any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1.
- Therefore, \(5^0 = 1\) and \(9^0 = 1\).
- Thus, \(5^0 + 9^0 = 1 + 1 = 2\).
-
\(3 (8^0)\):
- Again, any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 is 1.
- Thus, \(8^0 = 1\).
- Therefore, \(3 (8^0) = 3 \times 1 = 3\).
-
\(13 - (7.42)^0\):
- Here, \((7.42)^0 = 1\).
- So, \(13 - (7.42)^0 = 13 - 1 = 12\).
-
\((-2.97)^0\):
- Regardless of the base (as long as it's not 0), any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1.
- Therefore, \((-2.97)^0 = 1\).
After evaluating all expressions:
- \(5^0 + 9^0 = 2\)
- \(3 (8^0) = 3\)
- \(13 - (7.42)^0 = 12\)
- \((-2.97)^0 = 1\)
The only expression that results in an answer of 1 is:
\[ \boxed{(-2.97)^0} \]
