Zero Power Rule of Exponents Quick Check 3 of 53 of 5 Items Question Which of the following is an equivalent expression to 7/(−5.3)powered by 0+4⋅9 when applying the Zero Power Rule? (1 point) Responses 7/0+4⋅9 7/5.3powered by0+36 7/5.3+4⋅9 7/1+4⋅9
The correct answer is 7/1+4⋅9. When applying the Zero Power Rule of Exponents, any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1. Therefore, (-5.3)^0 = 1.
Which of the following is an equivalent expression to 12(9−7powered by0)+(−29)powered by0 ? (1 point) Responses 1/2(9−1)− 1/2(2)+1 1/2(9−0)+0 1/2(9−1)+1
The correct answer is 1/2(9−1)+1. When applying the Zero Power Rule of Exponents, any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1. Therefore, 7^0 = 1 and (-29)^0 = 1. Additionally, 9 - 7^0 = 9 - 1 = 8. So the expression 12(9−7^0)+(−29)^0 is equivalent to 12(8)+1.
