What is the value of (6^2 \times 6^0)?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: 36
By the zero-exponent rule, \(a^0=1\) for every non-zero number, so \(6^0=1\). Therefore, \(6^2 \times 6^0=36 \times 1=36\). Option B is incorrect because it does not evaluate \(6^2\). Exam tip: the zero power of any non-zero number is always 1.
