Which of the following expressions can be simplified to give an answer of 1?

15 - (9.1)^0
2 (8^0)
11^0 + 24^0
(-5.22)^0

1 answer

Let's simplify each of the expressions to determine which of them can be simplified to give an answer of 1.

  1. 15 - (9.1)^0
    \((9.1)^0 = 1\)
    So, \(15 - 1 = 14\)

  2. 2 (8^0)
    \((8^0 = 1)\)
    So, \(2 \times 1 = 2\)

  3. 11^0 + 24^0
    \((11^0 = 1)\) and \((24^0 = 1)\)
    So, \(1 + 1 = 2\)

  4. (-5.22)^0
    \((-5.22)^0 = 1\)

Now let's summarize the results:

  • The first expression simplifies to 14.
  • The second expression simplifies to 2.
  • The third expression simplifies to 2.
  • The fourth expression simplifies to 1.

Based on this analysis, the expressions that simplify to give an answer of 1 are:

  • (-5.22)^0

Thus, the answer is: (-5.22)^0.
