Which of the following is an equivalent expression to 1/2 (9 - 7^0) + (-29)^0

An exponent of 0 indicates that the number is being raised to the power of 0, which equals 1. Using this information, we can simplify the given expression:

1/2 (9 - 7^0) + (-29)^0

= 1/2 (9 - 1) + 1

= 1/2 (8) + 1

= 4 + 1

= 5

Therefore, the equivalent expression is 5.

Which of the following shows the correct process of solving −4(3+12^0)+15^0 by generating an equivalent expression using the Zero Power Rule?

The Zero Power Rule states that any number (except 0) raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1. Using this rule, we can simplify the given expression:

−4(3+12^0)+15^0

= -4(3 + 1) + 1

= -4(4) + 1

= -16 + 1

= -15

Therefore, the correct process of solving the expression −4(3+12^0)+15^0 using the Zero Power Rule is to replace 12^0 with 1, simplify the expression inside the parentheses, and then perform the remaining operations. The final result is -15.

To simplify the given expression, let's break it down step by step.

Step 1: Evaluate the exponent

In the expression (-29)^0, any number raised to the power of 0 is always equal to 1. Therefore, (-29)^0 is equal to 1.

So now we have: 1/2 (9 - 7^0) + 1

Step 2: Evaluate any remaining exponent

The only remaining exponent in the expression is 7^0. Similarly to (-29)^0, any number raised to the power of 0 is always equal to 1. Therefore, 7^0 is also equal to 1.

So now we have: 1/2 (9 - 1) + 1

Step 3: Perform the subtraction

In the expression (9 - 1), subtracting 1 from 9 gives us 8.

So now we have: 1/2 (8) + 1

Step 4: Perform the multiplication

In the expression 1/2 (8), multiplying 1/2 by 8 gives us 4.

So now we have: 4 + 1

Step 5: Perform the addition

In the expression 4 + 1, adding 4 and 1 gives us 5.

Therefore, the equivalent expression to 1/2 (9 - 7^0) + (-29)^0 is 5.
