Why is 3 to the power 0 = 1

1 answer:

4 0

When we raise something to a power, it really justs means we are multiplying it by itself. 3^2 (3 to the power of 2) means that we are mutliplying 3 by itself: 3•3 = 9 or 3^2 = 9 (there are two 3's)

However, when we rasie something to the 0 power, it equals 1. That is because we are multiplying it by itself 0 times. We are not multiplying it by zero, we are effectively doing nothing at all. 3^0 = 1

Cassie’s broker charges her a commission of $4.25 for every ten shares of stock bought or sold. Cassie buys 92 shares of Hyren A

Lemur [1.5K]

The answer is Letter B - $2,850.

Multiply the number of shares to their respective costs per share. Add the results. Get the total number of shares then divide it by 10 before multiplying the result to 4.25. Add the product to the previous total.

Hyren Airlines: 92 shares x 13.70 = 1260.4
Giaco Household Goods: 130 x 3.28 = 426.40
Iwad Records: 126 x 8.06 = 1015.56
Total: 2,702.36
Commission: (92 + 130 + 126) 348 shares / 10 shares = 34.8 x 4.25 = 147.90
Total: 2702.36 + 147.90 = 2,850.26 or 2,850
