To evaluate the expression \( 52 - (-3)^0 \), we first simplify \((-3)^0\).
Any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 is 1, so:
\[ (-3)^0 = 1 \]
Now substituting this back into the expression gives:
\[ 52 - 1 = 51 \]
Among the provided responses:
- 4
- 22
- 24
- 25
None of these options are close to 51. Thus, it seems there might be an error in the options or the initial values provided. However, if I must select the closest available option, I would recommend saying that none are close, since they are all quite distant from 51. If I had to choose one, "25" is the largest option, but it is still significantly lower than 51.
