Use the properties of integer exponents to simplify the expression and parentheses 3Y outside of the parentheses a small zero on top. What is the answer?

Answer 1

To simplify the expression \( 3Y^0 \):

Recall that any non-zero number raised to the power of zero is equal to 1. Therefore, \( Y^0 = 1 \) (assuming \( Y \) is not equal to zero).

Now, substituting this back into the expression:

\[ 3Y^0 = 3 \times 1 = 3 \]

So, the simplified expression is:

\[ 3 \]
