Question

Explain why (–4x)^0 = 1, but –4x^0 = –4.

Answer 1

becaus x is the one raised to zero

Answer 2

cause (-4x)^0=-4^0*x^0=1*1=1
-4x^0 means tht only x is in the 0th power---> -4*1=-4

Answer 3

notation matters

Answer 4

x^0 means 1 where x refers any variable even a thing or a name or anything else!
hence replace x with(-4x)
hence
(–4x)^0 = 1
