The correct Answer is:
To solve the expression \((3^{-1} + 4^{-1} + 5^{-1})^{0}\), we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the exponent Any non-zero number raised to the power of zero is equal to 1. Therefore, we need to check if the expression inside the parentheses is non-zero. ### Step 2: Calculate the individual terms We start by calculating each term in the expression: - \(3^{-1} = \frac{1}{3}\) - \(4^{-1} = \frac{1}{4}\) - \(5^{-1} = \frac{1}{5}\) ### Step 3: Combine the fractions Now we need to add these fractions together: \[ 3^{-1} + 4^{-1} + 5^{-1} = \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{4} + \frac{1}{5} \] To add these fractions, we need a common denominator. The least common multiple (LCM) of 3, 4, and 5 is 60. ### Step 4: Convert each fraction to have the common denominator Now we convert each fraction: - \(\frac{1}{3} = \frac{20}{60}\) (since \(1 \times 20 = 20\) and \(3 \times 20 = 60\)) - \(\frac{1}{4} = \frac{15}{60}\) (since \(1 \times 15 = 15\) and \(4 \times 15 = 60\)) - \(\frac{1}{5} = \frac{12}{60}\) (since \(1 \times 12 = 12\) and \(5 \times 12 = 60\)) ### Step 5: Add the fractions Now we can add these fractions: \[ \frac{20}{60} + \frac{15}{60} + \frac{12}{60} = \frac{20 + 15 + 12}{60} = \frac{47}{60} \] ### Step 6: Substitute back into the original expression Now we substitute this result back into the original expression: \[ (3^{-1} + 4^{-1} + 5^{-1})^{0} = \left(\frac{47}{60}\right)^{0} \] ### Step 7: Apply the exponent rule Since any non-zero number raised to the power of zero is equal to 1, we have: \[ \left(\frac{47}{60}\right)^{0} = 1 \] ### Final Answer Thus, the value of \((3^{-1} + 4^{-1} + 5^{-1})^{0}\) is **1**. ---
