• All the powers have a value of 0 because the exponent is zero.
• All the powers have a fractional value because the exponent is zero.
• All the powers have a value of 1 because the exponent is zero.
• All the powers have a value of -1 because the exponent is zero.

Answer 1

The correct statement is:

• All the powers have a value of 1 because the exponent is zero.

According to the rules of exponents, any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 equals 1. Thus, \(4^0\), \((-2)^0\), \((1/3)^0\), and \(9^0\) all equal 1.
