Question

Which expression gives the same result as t = 0?

a) (5)^0
b) 0 + 5
c) 5 - 5
d) 5 * 0

Answer 1

The expression that results in t = 0 is '5 * 0', as multiplying any number by zero yields zero.

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression that gives the same result as t = 0 is 5 * 0, which is equal to 0. When you multiply any number by zero, the result is always zero. None of the other options provided would result in zero:
(a) (5)^0 = 1, since any number raised to the power of zero is one.
(b) 0 + 5 = 5, which simply adds Zero to five resulting in five.
(c) 5 - 5 = 0, while this does result in zero, it's not a multiplication expression as the original question implied. Hence, the correct answer is (d) 5 * 0.
