The rule is that any number raised to the power of 0 equals to 1.
So if 2 or 1,000,000 is raised to the power of 0 it equals 1.
But 0 to the power 0 is undefined!
0 to any positive power is 0, so 0 to the power 0 should be 0. But any positive number to the power 0 is 1, so 0 to the power 0 should be 1. We can't have it both ways. Underlying this argument is the same idea as was used in the attempt to define 0 divided by 0.
The team won 4 gold medals, 4 silver medals and 10 bronze medals.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Total medals won = 18
Ratio of gold, silver and bronze = 2:2:5
Let,
x be the original number.
Therefore,
Gold medals = 2x
Silver medals = 2x
Bronze medals = 5x
According to given statement;
Dividing both sides by 9
Gold medals = 2x = 2(2) = 4
Silver medals = 2x = 2(2) = 4
Bronze medals = 5x = 5(2) = 10
The team won 4 gold medals, 4 silver medals and 10 bronze medals.
