Question

Apply all relevant properties of exponents to simplify the following expression. Assume all variables are nonzero

Answer 1

a) Given:

`5^0`

To simplify:

Applying zero power rule,

`a^0=1`

So, we get

`5^0=1`

Hence, the answer is 1.

a) Given:

`b^0`

To simplify:

Applying zero power rule,

`a^0=1`

So, we get

`b^0=1`

Hence, the answer is 1.
