Sure, let's solve the given expression step by step.
1. Evaluate [tex]\(x^0\)[/tex]:
- Any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 is 1. So, whatever the value of [tex]\(x\)[/tex] is (as long as it’s not zero), [tex]\(x^0\)[/tex] is 1.
Therefore:
[tex]\[
x^0 = 1
\][/tex]
2. Evaluate [tex]\(2^3\)[/tex]:
- This means raising 2 to the power of 3, which is the same as multiplying 2 by itself three times.
[tex]\[
2^3 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 = 8
\][/tex]
3. Combine the results:
- Now we need to multiply the results of [tex]\(x^0\)[/tex] and [tex]\(2^3\)[/tex].
[tex]\[
x^0 \times 2^3 = 1 \times 8 = 8
\][/tex]
So, the final answer is:
[tex]\[
8
\][/tex]
