Here are the responses to each of your questions:
-
Which of the following is developed to result in the answer of 1?
The answer is 5^0 + 9^0.
Reason: Any non-zero number raised to the zero power equals 1. So, \( 5^0 = 1 \) and \( 9^0 = 1 \), therefore \( 5^0 + 9^0 = 1 + 1 = 2 \) is incorrect.
Instead, \( (−2.97)^0 = 1 \), so \( 13 - (7.42)^0 = 13 - 1 = 12 \) is also incorrect.
However, \( (−2.97)^0 \) gives 1. -
Which of the following shows the correct process of solving −30 + 4.5?
The answer is −30 + 4.5 = −3^0 + 4.5 = 0 + 4.5 = 4.5.
Reason: The expression shows the stepwise breakdown of the operation, correctly applying the zero exponent rule where \( -3^0 = 1 \). -
Which of the following is an equivalent expression to 7(−5.3)^0 + 4⋅9 when applying the Zero Power Rule?
The answer is 70 + 4 ⋅ 9.
Reason: \( (−5.3)^0 = 1 \) implies \( 7 \cdot 1 + 4 \cdot 9 = 7 + 36 = 43 \), but it doesn't directly relate. -
Which of the following is an equivalent expression to 12(9−70)+(−29)^0?
The answer is 12(9−0)+0.
Reason: Here, \( (−29)^0 = 1 \) implies you should consider similar conversions and forms correctly. -
Which of the following shows the correct process of solving −4(3 + 120) + 150 by generating an equivalent expression using the Zero Power Rule?
The answer is −4(3 + 12^0) + 15^0 = −4(3 + 1) + 1 = −4⋅4 + 1 = −16 + 1 = −15.
Reason: It accurately applies the zero power rule at multiple stages to transform, compute, and simplify the expression.
