Question

Evaluate (x + y)0 for x = -3 and y = 5. A. -1/2 B. 0 C. 1 D. 2

Answer 1

Hello there! With the values of "x" and "y", they fill in the parenthesis. -3 + 5 is 2, because adding into a negative makes the number go up, or just simply subtracting 3 from 5 works as well. However, there is a 0 beside it, so we raise 2 to the 0 power. Anything that is raised to the 0 power is always equal to 1. And there is no other part of the question, so 1 is our answer. The answer is C: 1.

Answer 2

0 * 2
0

Answer: B).

*All you have to do is add negative three plus five and make it 2, then multiply 2 times zero to get the answer.
