Which of the following is developed to result in the answer of 1? (1 point)
O (- 2.97) ^ 0
0 5 ^ 0 + 9 ^ 0
O 13 - (7.42) ^ 0
3(8 ^ 0)
The correct answer is:
3(8 ^ 0)
To find the expression that results in the answer of 1, we need to evaluate each of the given expressions step-by-step:
First expression: (-2.97) ^ 0
Any number (except 0) raised to the power of 0 equals 1. Therefore, the answer to this expression is 1.
Second expression: 5 ^ 0 + 9 ^ 0
Similar to the first expression, any number (except 0) raised to the power of 0 equals 1. Therefore, both terms in this expression become 1, and when you add them together, the answer is 2.
Third expression: 13 - (7.42) ^ 0
As previously mentioned, any number (except 0) raised to the power of 0 equals 1. So, the term (7.42) ^ 0 becomes 1. Thus, the expression simplifies to 13 - 1, which equals 12.
Fourth expression: 3(8 ^ 0)
Similar to the previous expressions, any number (except 0) raised to the power of 0 equals 1. So, the term (8 ^ 0) becomes 1. Consequently, the expression simplifies to 3 * 1, which equals 3.
Finally, the only expression that is developed to result in the answer of 1 is the first expression: (-2.97) ^ 0.
