Question

Evaluate m^0 - n^2 for m = 2 and n = -1. A. -1 B. 0 C. 1

Answer 1

When the exponent is 0, it will always equal 1.

For example:

$x^0=1$

$3^0=1$

Since you know the values of m and n, substitute/plug it into the equation:

$m^0-n^2$   Plug in 2 into "m" since m = 2, and plug in -1 into "n" since n = -1

$(2)^0-(-1)^2$    

1 - (1)

0           Your answer is B
