The correct answer is: " 9 " .
_______
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: " x³ + x⁰ " ; Evaluate for "x = 2 ".
Plug in 2 for the x values; and solve:
" 2³ + 2⁰ " ;
Note: " 2³ = 2 * 2 * 2 = 8 " ;
" 2⁰ = 1 " .
Note: Any 'non-zero' value, raised to the 'zeroth' [0°]' exponential power, is equal to 'one' [ 1 ].
So: " x³ + x⁰ = 2³ + 2⁰ = 8 + 1 = 9 ."
The answer is: " 9 ".
