Simplify each expression.

$\frac{1}{8^0}$

To determine

To simplify $\frac{1}{8^0}$

Answer to Problem 9P

The value of $\frac{1}{8^0}$ is $1$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information :

Given expression $\frac{1}{8^0}$

As we know that $a^0=1\text{for}\text{any}\text{non}\text{zero}\text{real}\text{number}\text{'a'}\text{.}$

Put $a=8$ in above rule

  $8^0=1$

Thus, $\frac{1}{8^0}=\frac{1}{1}=1$

Hence, the value of $\frac{1}{8^0}$ is $1$ .
