Question

Which Statement describes what these four powers have in common? 4^0 (-2)^0 (1/3)^0

A. all the powers have a value a value of 0 because the exponent is zero
B. all the powers have the value of 1 because the exponent is zero

Answer 1

the answer would be B) all the powers have the value of 1 because the exponent is zero

Answer 2

Option B is correct

all the powers have the value of 1 because the exponent is zero

Explanation:

Using the exponent rule:

`a^0 = 1` for any real number a.

Given that:

`4^0 = 1`

`(-2)^0 = 1`

`((1)/(3))^0 = 1`

⇒all the powers have the value of 1 because the exponent is zero

Therefore, the Statement describes what these four powers have in common is, all the powers have the value of 1 because the exponent is zero
