No..
OpenStudy (igreen):
1 / w^0
let's say w = 2
1 / 2^0
1 / 1
1

No..anything to the power of 0 is 1.
OpenStudy (igreen):
2 * 3 is 6

No..I just said anything to the power of 0 is 1.

Now let's look at option C:
\(2 \times p^0\)
Let's say 'p' is 2:
\(2 \times 2^0\)
What does 2^0 equal?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1
OpenStudy (igreen):
Yes..
that gives us:
\(2 \times 1\)
And what does that equal?
OpenStudy (igreen):
@shifuyanli
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
