<u>Answer</u>
D
<u>Explanation</u>
9⁽¹/²⁾² = (9⁽¹/²⁾)²
= 9¹/² × 9¹/² (Since the base are the same, we can add the power.)
= 9⁽¹/² ⁺¹/²⁾
= 9 ¹
= 9
The correct simplification is D.
The exact value of sin (-270) is determined using the calculator in degrees mode. The answer is equal to 1. If the radians mode is used, -270 is equal to -2 pi/3. Hence using the calculator, we can verify that the answer is still 1. The value of -270 matters.
