Answer is “more than” or “greater than” 1
The expression is
x^0 + (x^9 + x^5)
We know any number to the power of zero (0) is 1, so now we have
1 + (x^9 + x^5)
If we used x=1,
1 + (1^9 + 1^5)
1 + 1 + 1 = 3, ❌ it is not greater than 82
Let’s try x = 2
1 + (2^9 + 2^5)
1 + 512 + 32 = 545
545 is greater than 82
So we know the number has to be more than 1 because 1 did not work
