Question

Select the correct answer. What is the value of this expression if h = 8, j = -1, and k = –12? no OA. -12 B. 36 O C. 12 OD.

Answer 1

The value of the expression is;

`12`

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression;

`(j^3k)/(h^0)`

If;

`\begin{gathered} j=-1 \\ h=8 \\ k=-12 \end{gathered}`

Substituting the values into the expression, we have;

`\begin{gathered} (j^3k)/(h^0) \\ =((-1)^3(-12))/(8^0) \end{gathered}`

Any number raised to the power of zero is 1;

Solving the expression we have;

`\begin{gathered} ((-1)^3(-12))/(8^0) \\ =\frac{-1^{}(-12)}{1^{}} \\ =(12)/(1) \\ =12 \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the value of the expression is;

`12`
