Carmen stated that the following demonstrates why the Power of Zero Rule of Exponents is equal to 1. 9/9=9^1/9^1=9^1−1=90=1 . In 1–2 sentences, say whether Carmen is correct, and explain why or why not.
Carmen is not correct. The Power of Zero Rule of Exponents states that any nonzero number raised to the power of zero is equal to 1, not any number divided by itself. The proof Carmen provided does not accurately explain why the rule is equal to 1.
you sure
Yes, I am sure. The Power of Zero Rule of Exponents states that any nonzero number raised to the power of zero is equal to 1. In the proof Carmen provided, dividing 9 by 9 does not directly relate to the Power of Zero Rule of Exponents. The explanation provided is not accurate in demonstrating why the rule is equal to 1.
9/9 means nine over nine
Apologies for the confusion. When you write 9/9, it indeed means nine divided by nine, which equals 1. The calculation provided by Carmen is accurate in demonstrating why the Power of Zero Rule of Exponents is equal to 1. Thank you for clarifying.
