Answer:
d. 4^9
Step-by-step explanation:
Question:
Which expression is equivalent to 4^9/4^0?
a. 4^8
b. 4^0
c. 4^7
d. 4^9
Solution:
By definition, a number raised to the 0 power equals 1, with the possible exception of 0^0 which according to some is undefined.
Any number divided by 1 equals the number itself.
For example, 2/1 = 2; 5/1 = 5; -20/2 = -20.
4^0 = 1
Since 4^0 = 1, then when you divide 4^9 by 4^0 you are dividing 4^9 by 1, so you get 4^9.
4^9/4^0 = 4^9/1 = 4^9
