Question

Simplify. (-3)2 -32 -30

Answer 1

We need to simplify the next given expression:

`(-3)^2-3^2-3^0`

Let's solve each term:

`(-3)^2=(-3)(-3)=9`
`3^2=3\cdot3=9`

Finally, for the last term we need to use the next property:

`a^0=1`

Every whole number with an exponent of 0 will always equal one.

Therefore:

`3^0=1`

Now, we have the next expression:

`9-9-1`
`=-1`

Hence, when we simplified the expression the result is -1.
