Question

Simplify the expression below by applying the zero exponent rule. (5-8)^0 = Answer

Answer 1

Zero Exponent Rule:

`\begin{gathered} a^0=1 \\ a\\eq0 \end{gathered}`

Thus, anything to the power of 0 is "1", except 0.

Let's simplify the expression shown:

`\begin{gathered} (5-8)^0 \\ =(-3)^0 \\ =1 \end{gathered}`Answer1
