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 .
A. Factor 28 + 7g 7(g <span>+ 4)
add
28 </span><span>+ 7g
= 7 (g </span>+ 4)
B. (12r + 15) – 65 Remove parentheses
12r+15-65
= 12r - 50
C. 24 – (8p – 12)
24 - (8p - 12) = -8p + 36
24 - (8p - 12) -(8p - 12) 8p + 12
= 24-8p+12
Simplify 24-8p+12
Group like terms
-8p+12+24
Add the numbers 12+24=36
Answer is -8p+36
Yes because 7 ketchup packets is 28 teaspoons
