Yes, the table represents a function.
None of the independent (x) values are repeated and each one has a corresponding (y) value.
If you had a repeated (x) value in the table, it would not represent a function.
Using the power of zero property, we find that:
a) The simplification of the given expression is 1.
b) Since , equivalent expressions are: and .
--------------------------------
The power of zero property states that any number that is not zero elevated to zero is 1, that is:
Thus, at item a, , thus the simplification is .
At item b, equivalent expressions are found elevating non-zero numbers to 0, thus and .
Answer:
A line parallel has the same slope, so -3
