The Zero Power Rule of Exponents states that any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1.

From the options provided, let's analyze each one:

  1. \( (-2.97)^0 \) = 1
  2. \( (13 - 7.42)^0 \) = \( (5.58)^0 \) = 1
  3. \( (3 \cdot (8))^0 \) = \( (24)^0 \) = 1
  4. \( 5 + 0^0 \) (Note: \( 0^0 \) is generally considered indeterminate, but in some contexts, it's defined to be 1, leading to \( 5 + 1 = 6 \)).

The first three options will definitely result in 1. Therefore, the choices that develop to result in the answer of 1 are:

  • \( (-2.97)^0 \)
  • \( (13 - 7.42)^0 \)
  • \( (3 \cdot (8))^0 \)

If you are looking for just one choice, any of those three can be correct. If there is a requirement for a single specific option, please follow the desired format of your question.
