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.
