4(3)/7(2)

1 answer

Let's simplify the original expression step by step and then compare it with the responses provided.

The expression given is:

\[ \frac{15(0) \cdot 7(-2)}{(-4)(-3)} \]

  1. Calculate \( 15(0) \): This equals 0.
  2. Since the numerator contains 0, the entire expression simplifies to 0, regardless of the denominator.

Now let's analyze each of the response options to find out which one simplifies to 0:

  1. Response 1: \((−4)^3/7^2\) This is not equal to 0.

  2. Response 2: \(172 \cdot (−4)^{-3}\) The product is not zero; therefore, this is not equal to 0.

  3. Response 3: \(7^2/(-4)^3\) This expression is not zero either.

  4. Response 4: \(4(3)/7(2)\) This expression is also not zero.

Upon careful consideration, none of the given options are equivalent to 0.
