What is the value of this expression if [tex]h=8, j=-1[/tex], and [tex]k=-12[/tex]?

[tex]
\frac{h^4}{h^0}
[/tex]

A. 12
B. 36
C. -12
D. [tex]\frac{s}{2}[/tex]



Answer :

Let's analyze the given expression step by step to find the correct value.

The expression we need to evaluate is:
[tex]\[ \frac{f^4}{h^0} \][/tex]

Let's break it down:

1. Evaluate [tex]\(h^0\)[/tex]:
According to the properties of exponents, any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1. Therefore:
[tex]\[ h^0 = 1 \][/tex]

2. Simplify the expression:
Now, substituting [tex]\(h^0\)[/tex] with 1 in the original expression, we get:
[tex]\[ \frac{f^4}{1} \][/tex]

3. Divide by 1:
Dividing anything by 1 leaves the value unchanged. Thus:
[tex]\[ \frac{f^4}{1} = f^4 \][/tex]

4. Value of [tex]\(f\)[/tex]:
The value of [tex]\(f\)[/tex] is not provided within the problem statement. Without knowing the value of [tex]\(f\)[/tex], we cannot determine the exact numeric value of [tex]\(f^4\)[/tex].

Because of the lack of provided information regarding the value of [tex]\(f\)[/tex], we can't simplify or compute [tex]\(f^4\)[/tex] to determine which of the provided choices (A, B, C, or D) it corresponds to.

Hence, due to the missing value for [tex]\(f\)[/tex], we conclude that the expression’s value cannot be determined from the given information. Therefore, the answer is:
[tex]\[ \text{N/A} \][/tex]
