To evaluate the expression \( 52 - (-3)^0 \), we first need to simplify each part.
-
Calculate \( (-3)^0 \). Any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1: \[ (-3)^0 = 1 \]
-
Substitute this back into the expression: \[ 52 - 1 \]
-
Now perform the subtraction: \[ 52 - 1 = 51 \]
Since \( 51 \) is not listed in the provided responses, I would recommend double-checking the initial expression or the available choices. However, based on my calculations, the result of the expression \( 52 - (-3)^0 \) is \( 51 \).
