28+(9*6-23)*4^0 How does this equal 59??!! When you do 4 to the no power, that equals 0. You do all the math in the parenthesis and get 31(or something like that) then you multiply by 0, you get 0. Add 28 to that and you get 28. WHAT THE LOGIC!?!?!?!

Actually, when you do anything to the 0th power, it equals 1. See this page for some explanations if you're curious.

28+(9*6-23)*4^0  =      evaluate within the parentheses, first

 

28 + (54 - 23)*4^0  =  

 

28 + ( 31)*4^0      =         exponentiation is done next...remember that a^0  = 1   as long as  "a" ≠  0

 

28 + (31)* 1  =

 

28 + 31   = 

 

59
