We need to simplify the next given expression:
[tex](-3)^2-3^2-3^0[/tex]Let's solve each term:
[tex](-3)^2=(-3)(-3)=9[/tex][tex]3^2=3\cdot3=9[/tex]Finally, for the last term we need to use the next property:
[tex]a^0=1[/tex]Every whole number with an exponent of 0 will always equal one.
Therefore:
[tex]3^0=1[/tex]Now, we have the next expression:
[tex]9-9-1[/tex][tex]=-1[/tex]Hence, when we simplified the expression the result is -1.
