Question

can somebody please help me

Answer 1

Choose the correct simplification of the expression (-13g2h5k2)0.

Answer 2

is that raised to the 0?

Answer 3

yeah

Answer 4

recall the property \(\huge a^0=1\)
anything raised to the 0 is 1

Answer 5

so would all the numbers be changed to 1

Answer 6

what does that mean? the whole expression is evaluated to 1

Answer 7

oh oops then if the whole expression is evauluated to 1 would that mean everything except the 0 stays the same? i dont think they would change unless they were raised to the 2nd power of higher

Answer 8

uh, sorry if I'm being unclear I'll rewrite it.
there's a property of exponents that staying \((ab)^0=a^0b^0=1*1=1\)
and also \(\large (a^b)^c=a^{(b*c)}\)

here, we have \( (-13g^2h^5k^2)^0=(-13)^0(g^2)^0(h^5)^0(k^2)^0\\=1*(g^0)(h^0)(k^0)\\=1*1*1*1\\=1\)

Answer 9

oh ok i understand now, thank you for the help

Answer 10

any time~
