3(8^0)
3 left parenthesis 8 superscript 0 baseline right parenthesis

13−(7.42)^0
13 minus left parenthesis 7.42 right parenthesis superscript 0 baseline

(−2.97)^0
left parenthesis negative 2.97 right parenthesis superscript 0 baseline

5^0+9^0

Answer 1

The Zero Power Rule of Exponents states that any non-zero number raised to the power of zero is equal to 1.

Now let's evaluate each option:

1. **3(8^0)**
- \(8^0 = 1\)
- So, \(3(1) = 3\)

2. **13 - (7.42)^0**
- \( (7.42)^0 = 1\)
- So, \(13 - 1 = 12\)

3. **(-2.97)^0**
- \((-2.97)^0 = 1\)

4. **5^0 + 9^0**
- \(5^0 = 1\) and \(9^0 = 1\)
- So, \(1 + 1 = 2\)

From the options above, the following values result in the answer of 1:

- **(-2.97)^0**

Hence, the correct response is:
**(−2.97)^0**
