Question

1. simplify the expression. write your answer using only positive exponents.

6b^0 = \square

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the zero - exponent rule

The zero - exponent rule states that for any non - zero number \(a\), \(a^{0}=1\). In the expression \(6b^{0}\), we assume that \(b
eq0\) (since if \(b = 0\), \(b^{0}\) is undefined). So we can apply the zero - exponent rule to \(b^{0}\).

Step2: Simplify the expression

Using the zero - exponent rule, \(b^{0}=1\) (for \(b
eq0\)). Then we multiply this result by 6. So \(6b^{0}=6\times1\).

Step3: Calculate the product

\(6\times1 = 6\).

Answer:

\(6\)
