Solution

It looks like you've uploaded an image with various expressions involving exponents. Let's go through each problem step by step and evaluate the expressions:

1. 30+503^0 + 5^0

  • Any non-zero number raised to the power of 0 equals 1.
  • 30=13^0 = 1 and 50=15^0 = 1
  • Therefore, 1+1=21 + 1 = 2

2. 24×222^4 \times 2^{-2}

  • Using the rule of exponents am×an=am+na^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}:
  • 24×22=242=22=42^4 \times 2^{-2} = 2^{4-2} = 2^2 = 4

3. 34+333^4 + 3^3

  • 34=813^4 = 81 and 33=273^3 = 27
  • So, 81+27=10881 + 27 = 108

4. 20×422^0 \times 4^{-2}

  • 20=12^0 = 1, and 42=142=1164^{-2} = \frac{1}{4^2} = \frac{1}{16}
  • Therefore, 1×116=1161 \times \frac{1}{16} = \frac{1}{16}

5. 22+222^2 + 2^2

  • 22=42^2 = 4, so 4+4=84 + 4 = 8

6. 24×20+232^4 \times 2^0 + 2^3

  • Using the same exponent rule am×an=am+na^m \times a^n = a^{m+n}:
  • 24×20=24+0=24=162^4 \times 2^0 = 2^{4+0} = 2^4 = 16
  • So, 16+23=16+8=2416 + 2^3 = 16 + 8 = 24

7. (6+5)023(6 + 5)^0 - 2^3

  • (6+5)0=1(6 + 5)^0 = 1 because anything raised to the power of 0 is 1.
  • 23=82^3 = 8
  • Therefore, 18=71 - 8 = -7

8. (23)1+41\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^{-1} + 4^{-1}

  • (23)1=32\left(\frac{2}{3}\right)^{-1} = \frac{3}{2} because the inverse of a fraction ab\frac{a}{b} is ba\frac{b}{a}.
  • 41=144^{-1} = \frac{1}{4}
  • So, 32+14\frac{3}{2} + \frac{1}{4}
    • To add these fractions, find a common denominator: 32=64\frac{3}{2} = \frac{6}{4}, so
    • 64+14=74\frac{6}{4} + \frac{1}{4} = \frac{7}{4}
