Which of the following correctly simplifies the expression 3 to the power of 2 multiplied by 5 to the power of 0 whole over 4, the whole squared.?
3 to the power of 2 multiplied by 1 whole over 4, the whole squared. = 3 to the power of 1 multiplied by 1 squared over 4 squared. = 1 over 6.
3 to the power of 2 multiplied by 0 whole over 4, the whole squared. = 3 to the power of 4 multiplied by 0 over 4 squared. = 0
3 to the power of 2 multiplied by 0 whole over 4, the whole squared. = 3 to the power of 1 multiplied by 0 over 4 squared. = 0
3 to the power of 2 multiplied by 1 whole over 4, the whole squared. = 3 to the power of 4 multiplied by 1 squared over 4 squared. = 81 over 16.
I think it is the second one
geez - ever hear of actual math notation?
3 to the power of 2 multiplied by 5 to the power of 0 whole over 4, the whole squared
means
((3^2 * 5^0)/4)^2 = (9/4)^2 = 81/16
To simplify the given expression, let's break it down step by step.
The expression is:
3^2 * 5^0 / 4^2
First, let's simplify the exponents:
3^2 = 9 (since 3 raised to the power of 2 = 3 * 3 = 9)
5^0 = 1 (any number raised to the power of 0 is always 1)
4^2 = 16 (since 4 raised to the power of 2 = 4 * 4 = 16)
Now we have:
9 * 1 / 16
Since any number divided by 1 is equal to the number itself, we can simplify further:
9 / 16
So the simplified expression is 9/16.
Now let's compare the options given:
- The second option suggests the answer is 0.
- The third option also suggests the answer is 0.
- The fourth option suggests the answer is 81/16.
None of these options match the correct answer, which is 9/16. Therefore, your initial intuition is incorrect. The correct answer is not the second option.
