Question

Simplify this expression. Assume that w is nonzero. Use pencil and paper. Describe how the values of the expression vary with the values chosen for w.
Give examples.
8w^0

Answer 1

Answer:

$8w^{0} = 8$

Step-by-step explanation:

$8w^{0}$ ------------(1)

Assume any non-zero value of w (w=2)

Put this value in (1)

$8(2)^{0}$

zero power of any number is 1. Therefore

$8(2)^{0} = 8$

Assume any other non-zero value of w (w=100)

Put this value in (1)

$8(100)^{0}$

we know zero power of any number is 1. Therefore

$8(100)^{0} = 8$

For any non zero value of w answer will always be 8. Expression can be written in simplified form as

$8w^{0} = 8$
