Kentucky Academic Standards (KAS) for Mathematics — Kentucky
Kentucky KSA is a state summative assessment built on Kentucky Academic Standards (KAS) rather than a separate national framework. For mathematics, the assessed content closely follows Common Core–style grade-band domains in grades 3-8 and uses Kentucky high-school conceptual categories in grade 10.
KSA uses the Independent / state-specific framework (by grade domains structure).

The Zero Exponent Property says that any nonzero base raised to the zero power equals one, written The stem states that , so the property applies and the expression simplifies to
Let . Which of the following approximations, written as with one significant digit, is closest to the value of ?
Substitute : . Since , .
Which is closest to ?
.
. What is ?
Multiply coefficients () and add exponents: , so .
is how many times as large as
Solve for all values of
