Simplify the expression.
$(-4t{)}^0,t\ne 0$

• A. $t$
• B. $1$
• C. $0$
• D. $-1$

Answer: (B)

Verified step by step guidance

1. Recall the zero exponent rule, which states that for any nonzero base \( a \), \( a^0 = 1 \).
2. Identify the base in the expression \( (-4t)^0 \). Here, the base is \( -4t \).
3. Check the condition given: \( t \neq 0 \). Since \( t \) is not zero, the base \( -4t \) is not zero.
4. Apply the zero exponent rule to the expression: \( (-4t)^0 = 1 \).
5. Conclude that the simplified form of \( (-4t)^0 \) is \( 1 \).
